routing from dhcp server to switch

Hi all,

If i were to create on my dhcp server different networks (vlans) how would i route it from the dhcp server to the different vlans on the switch( obviously i will have to create the different vlans on the switch) would i need a L2 switch or L3 switch or just a vlan managed switch?

  • A long time ago my managing director called me in to his office and said to me "I strongly recommend, that you don't recommend".

    I guess you are as puzzled by that recommendation as I was, all those years ago - the long & the short of it is, that if you're going to recommend something you should have valid reasons to do so - I've never used that switch, I have no idea of it's capabilities, it's strengths or it's weaknesses - therefore I should not recommend it - it might be perfect for your application - but I have no way of knowing that.
  • So what switch would you recommend then as I'm leaning towards an hp and I know I shouldn't as I'm on a netgear forum!!!
