3.2.8 DHCP Server

DHCP Server is the server for managing DHCP standard in the specific network. DHCP Server
is to allocate IP address for the workstation and make sure that the IP address for every
workstation is different. DHCP Server simplifies the network management task which should be
done manually before.
Generally, in the following scenes, DHCP Server is adopted to allocate IP address.
The network scale is large. The workload is too heavy if manually configured, and

centralized management for network will be difficult.
The quantity of PC is larger than the quantity of IP address in the network, and it is

impossible to allocate a static IP address for every PC. For example, the user quantity that
can access network at the same time is limited by ISP, and the user needs to acquire the IP
address dynamically.
Only a small number of PC need the static IP address, and most of the PC do not need the

static IP address.
There are three parts of DHCP Server configuration: VLAN Mode, Excluded IP and Pool.
