Hello, What are the best practices using DHCP server? What platform to use: cisco or linux?
Currently we using cisco 3825 router as DHCP server for entire network users. When user is connected to cisco switch, we use DHCP option 82 to give him static IP address. When user is connected to other switch, the MAC address is specified to know what IP address give to user. But there is bad situation when user has Windows and Linux on the same PC, cisco DHCP server can't give the same IP address for Linux and Windows. DHCP server is used to simplife users life. Static IP address is given for traffic monitoring for every user. There is another problem using DHCP server. It takes a long time to get IP address from DHCP server. What can we do? Thanks. -- Eimantas Zdanevicius Network administrator _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
