Both VLANs have their own DHCP. DHCP-relaying is disabled.<BR /><BR />Now, I want to turn of the DHCP in the second VLAN and use DHCP-relaying instead. Therefore on the first core switch I've enabled the DHCP-relaying and created an IP-helper-entry in VLAN 2 pointing to the DHCP-server in VLAN 1. So far so good.<BR /><BR />To have a redundant solution, I want to do the same for the second core switch. I found an advisory from Microsoft to work with timeouts/delays to prevent DHCP-packet-flooding. But I can't find any configuration options on the switches to delay the relaying. <BR /><BR />Is it allowed to do this relaying with two switches at the same time?<BR /><BR />Is it needed/possible to delay the relaying?<BR /><BR /><BR />Greetings,<BR /><BR />Carsten.
