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. …

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.
