This is correct, however, Cisco routers can be configured to pass DHCP requests between networks
(See the ip helper-address command which can be used to pass on different protocols utilizing UDP...). Hence, my question/admonition about how the client & server(s) are separated to

From a security perspective, keep in mind what this could mean if you are using insecure network connections, such as the Internet: TFTP has no authentication, and packets are transmitted in plaintext. MITM attacks are possible, even if those attacks are low odds.

I completely concur that separating these services on different networks has ramifications which need to be understood. Since information has not been shared how remote is
