Distributed DHCP Scopes - Distributed, L2

    Posted Jan 10, 2014 03:29 AM

    Hi all,

     

    I have a question about the configuration of DHCP Scopes (type Distributed, L2). In the documentation for the field Netmask there is this explanation:

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    If Distributed, L2 is selected for type of DHCP scope, specify the subnet mask. The subnet mask and the network determine the size of subnet.

    ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

     


    ...but, where is the Network field?!

     

    Thanks,

     

    Massimo

    Ok, this is quite misleading for me.

     

    Thank you very much for the comprehensive response Victor!

    Is there a reason you need L2 DIstributed?  Please consider L3 Distributed.  It is our preferred method unless clients need to be on the same broadcast domain.

     

    Thanks
