Does the GS1200-8HPv2 have the possibility of assigning 2 DHCP subnets?

I have a GS1200-8HPv2 and I would like to know if this switch has the possibility of assigning various DHCP subnets depending on the VLAN that the client connects to?

Hi @Rcluce

The GS1200-8HPv2 is a web-managed switch and does not have DHCP server functionality. It can handle VLANs and pass DHCP requests through to a DHCP server on your network, but it cannot assign DHCP addresses or manage multiple DHCP subnets itself.

To achieve what you're looking for - having different DHCP subnets for different VLANs - you would need to:

1. Configure VLANs on the GS1200-8HPv2 switch
2. Use a separate DHCP server (like a router or firewall) that supports DHCP relay or multiple DHCP pools for different VLANs
