DHCP Server on a Multi Segment Network

[spetrillo]

Hello all,

When I create a DHCP server for each segment on a multi-segment network does the DHCP server reside on each segment or does it reside on the LAN segment?

Thanks,
Steve

It "resides" on each segment. More precisely, once each interface is enabled with a static IP address for the interface itself, you will have the option of enabling DHCP for that specific interface (LAN, OPT1, etc.), and, if you do, you can configure DHCP however you want for the interface, with whatever static reservations you want, etc.

Thanks...I thought so but wanted to make sure.
