DHCP server support on PowerConnect 28xx series / address pool per VLAN
Hi,
I am reading through the user manual of the PowerConnect 2824.
I am considering to buy this switch but I still have a question related to the DHCP server functionality.
Here my question: I want to have different VLANs and use the DHCP server functionality on each of them. So can I have different DHCP address pools per VLAN?
Example:
VLAN1 ports 1-16 : IP subnet 192.168.1.0 /24
VLAN 2 ports 17-24: IP subnet 192.168.2.0/24
The manual is not clear on this.
Your help is welcome.
Regards,
Tom

Daniel,
Thanks for the reply. One more question does this mean that the DHCP server of the 28xx series switch will hand out the IP addresses (from the configured range) on all configured VLANs? So if a device on VLAN 2 issued a DHCP request it will get a IP address from the same pool as e.g. a device on VLAN 1.

Hi Daniel C,
(actually here suits my question better then on the other place)
I am using the same switch and having similar problem.
VLAN 1 and VLAN 2 (defined by ex collegue) are having access to the external DHCP server (defined by the def.gateway miles away) but VLAN 3 which I just defined gets no IP adress/subnetwork mask/def.gateway automaticly assigned. Is there any way to make VLAN 3 gets also those data automatically assigned from the same external def. gateway as it is the case in VLAN 1 and VLAN 2 ?
best regards!
