28.4 DHCP Configuration Examples
Scenario 1:
To save configuration efforts of network administrators and users, a company is using switch as a DHCP
server. The Admin VLAN IP address is 10.16.1.2/16. The local area net work for the company is divided into
network A and B according to the office locations. The net work configurations for location A and B are shown
below.
