What do you mean by 'use'?  If you mean you want DHCP to serve addresses
only to devices on the Token Ring LAN then you will need to have different
subnets on each LAN and give DHCP an address pool that is part of the TR
LAN segment.

There are also exit points for DHCP that may help but I doubt you'll need
them.

Read Chapter 17 of the TCP/IP Configuration and Reference manual -- it
won't take long.
