35.5.1 Example: DHCP Relay for Two VLANs
The following example displays two VLANs (VIDs 2 and 3) for a campus network. Two DHCP servers
are installed to serve each VLAN. The system is set up to forward DHCP requests from the
dormitory rooms (VLAN 2) to DHCP server X with an IP address of 192.168.2.100. Requests from
the academic buildings (VLAN 3) are sent to DHCP server Y with an IP address of 172.16.1.100.
Note: The port to which the DHCP server connects and the port(s) from which the DHCP
requests come should be in the same VLAN.
Note: To let the Switch discover DHCP servers X and Y using ARP, you must create an IP
domain and management IP address for VLANs 2 and 3.
