Ciscoworks and DHCP on same server

Hi,

We have a server which runs Ciscoworks LMS 3.0(windows). Is it possible to make the same machine as a windows DHCP server? Will there be any conflict with respect to any services or ports?

Thanks and regards,

Sonu.

It is possible, but was never tested. There shouldn't be any port conflicts as LMS doesn't use udp/67 or udp/68. But there could be resource conflicts depending on your DHCP server solution. Also, DHCP is a vital network service, and combining LMS and DHCP on the same server opens your DHCP server up to more potential security problems and maintenance issues that keeping it on a dedicated machine.
