Single DHCP Server, 1 6500 series cisco switch, multiple vlans

[cmadiam82]

Hi All,

Is it possible to have only one dhcp server which will serve multiple vlans?

Im planning to have this kind of setup on our network. I will create minimum of 5 vlans on our core switch and the dhcp server will serve this vlans for the ip address. If theres any how to or any guide on how to do this kind of setup, help will be much appreciated.

Thaks guys!!!!

Hi,

You can have that setup for example you have DHCP server in Vlan 2 and other vlans are VLan 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7.

On the Layer 3 interface of Vlan or SVI add this command.

interface Vlan 3

ip helper-address a.b.c.d ( ip address of DHCP server)

interface vlan 4

ip helper-address a.b.c.d ( ip address of DHCP server)

interface Vlan 5

ip helper-address a.b.c.d ( ip address of DHCP server)

and so on
