Vlan across Multiple swtiches to Windows DHCP Server
I am very new to VLAN and want to know if the following can be done. I have searched through and not found anything that helps me solve this. I have a Windows DHCP Server with scope 1, 2 and 3. ...
In short, the Windows Server is unaware of the VLAN and doesn’t care. It simply relies on its physical uplink to do any VLAN tagging for it to communicate appropriately. However, this means that if you want to have a Windows Server to be a part of multiple VLANs, it means you need a physical uplink for each separate VLAN, since it is relying on the switch to tag the traffic appropriately for a specific VLAN.
On a Windows Server 2019 server for example, you can specify the Bindings for the Windows DHCP Server so that it knows which interfaces to LISTEN for DHCP on.
Thank you for the reply.
Does this hold true even in VM setups?
So adding multiple Physical LAN to the DHCP server to serve each scope will solve this?
