Hi Amine

I dont think its possible to enable DHCP server feature in Cisco 2950 Switch.

i think you could not enable dhcp server on a switch unless it has layer 3 functionality or you could do this from global config mode do --> ip dhcp ? if you get a bunch of options then you could do dhcp server if you get an error tough luck

Hi Amine,

Yes 2950 can be configured as DHCP server however there are some limitations.

Check this discussion chain and you will be good to go
