Hi all
I recently changed a IP helper address on one of our switches to allow phones in a seperate vlan to get an IP address. My colleague is adament that the IP helper address needs to be set to the DHCP server, whereas I think that it just needs to be set to a server on the same vlan to allow the DHCP server to receive the broadcasts
Can someone clear up for me?
Thanks
