How does DHCP work with multiple VLANs?

There are three possibilities:

1. Put a dedicated DHCP server in each VLAN.
2. Connect a central (multi-homed) DHCP server to each VLAN.
3. Put a DHCP relay agent on each VLAN (most often a configuration option in a switch or a router) and have it relay requests to the central DHCP server.

What happens if the DHCP server is on another VLAN?

If the DHCP server and clients are configured in different VLANs, clients will not receive IP configuration from the server.

Can you have same IP address on different VLAN?

The OSA-Express Layer 2 implementation allows the hosts to manage IP addresses and ARP cache, so it is possible to have a single guest LAN segment (or VSWITCH segment) where two different hosts use the same IP Address on different VLAN groups. …

How do DHCP and NAT work together?

You need to understand that NAT and DHCP are two completely separate functions of a network. DHCP is used to assign IP addresses to clients, whereas NAT is used to translate one address to another primarily to support internet access but translating a Private address into a public address.

What is the difference between DHCP and NAT?

To put it simply, DHCP assigns IP addresses to hosts in a private network, while NAT converts private addresses into public addresses. To elaborate, NAT does not assign IP addresses to devices.

What is the difference between DHCP and router?

DHCP is completely unrelated to this. It is a way for devices to shout to the local network asking for an IP address and other related information (like the gateway address, name servers etc) to be given to them. Again, a home router usually has a server to serve the clients in the local network.

What is Option 150 and Option 66 in DHCP?

DHCP option 150 provides the IP addresses of a list of TFTP servers. DHCP option 66 gives the IP address or the hostname of a single TFTP server.

How to configure a LAN with DHCP and VLANs?

Configuring a LAN with DHCP and VLANs The Cisco 870 series routers support clients on both physical LANs and virtual LANs (VLANs). The routers can use the Dynamic Host Configuration Protoc ol (DHCP) to enable automatic assignment of IP configurations for nodes on these networks.

How do I set up multiple VLANs on one switch?

 This can be done with a Layer3 switch or you can create a trunk between a router and the switch that carries all the VLANs.  The router or switch is then configured with DHCP helper address that is the address of your DHCP server.

How to configure a DHCP server on a switch?

Add a switch, a router, and six PCs to the workspace. Connect PCs to the switch and the switch to the router. The following image shows this lab. Configure this lab to meet the following objectives. Create three VLANs and add 2 PCs to each VLAN. Configure the DHCP server on the switch and create three DHCP pools. Assign a DHCP pool to each VLAN.

How to route VLAN to L3 capable switch?

After the vlans are created you need to create a svi for each vlan on the L3 capable switch which will route between your vlans.Define ip helper-address (ip address of your dhcp server) under each SVI. And paralelly you need to create the DHCP Scopes on your windows server coressponding to each vlan.
