DHCP Standard Practise

DHCP Standard Practise

I have a question regarding DHCP.

Whats the standard practise for implementing DHCP helpers.

Our current setup, we use UDP profile on all our vlans on our core switches that require dhcp services. this is an inherited design before my time.

would it be more beneficial to go down the bootprelay route?

are there any other options? pros and cons for each?

Many Thanks
Ian

I know this is an old post, but would this configuration still be the same when working with dhcp servers in a load balancing configuration (windows server 2016)? List both servers? Does it matter which one is first?

I was going to say, not every vlan is DHCP serviced so would i stick with my example?

Simpler:

1) confgure bootprelay servers

configure bootprelay add 1.1.1.1 vr VR-Default
configure bootprelay add 2.2.2.2 vr VR-Default

2) enable bootprelay

enable bootprelay - "Enables the BOOTP Relay function on all VLANs"

"If DHCP/BOOTP Relay is enabled on a per VLAN basis, make sure it is enabled on both theclient-side and server-side VLANs."
