Is it Possible to Create 13 DHCP pools in CISCO-WS-3750X-24S-S for 13 VLANS-1000 users?

Hi

Our Client has purchase the following products:

  1. CISCO WS-3750X-24S-S Qnty: 1
  2. CISCO WS-C2960X-48TS-L Qnty: 20
  3. CISCO WS-C2960X-24TS-L Qnty: 6
  4. CISCO AIR-CT2504-25-K9 Qnty: 1
  5. CISCO AIR-CAP1602E-C-K9 Qnty: 23

 

Total LAN User: 812-820 and Wireless Users: 256-512.

Total No of VLANs = 13 (Including Wireless network and Management VLAN)

Client has no DHCP server and has decided to configure the Distribution Switch 3750 as DHCP server.

Can we configure 12 DHCP pools for LAN users and wireless users in the Cisco WS-3750X-24S-S switch?

Can It Handle the DHCP Load of the LAN users and Wireless users together?

The only thing I can do is to Move the Wireless DHCP in the Wireless LAN Controller.

Please suggest if configuring the 12 DHCP pool in the Distribution switch will be Appropriate for this network infrastructure.

If you have any other query please feel free to ask.

I believe you can configure this much DHCP pools.  

Can It Handle the DHCP Load of the LAN users and Wireless users together?

It can.  DHCP is not CPU intensive.  Plus you have lease time.   

 

Besides, it's a small network.  Should work.  The main thing though is this:  Why so many VLANs?

 

Downside is you don't have much features.  You can't trace a MAC address from weeks ago.  DHCP profiling is also not supported.

Client requirement as per designation of end user for his network.

Is there any RAM dependency for handle those VLAN, we have 256MB.
