Question : DHCP

I have a DHCP server on Window server 2003.  The DHCP is segmented with superscopes each scope has its own subnet.  IPs are issued via a DHCP reservation.  I would like to dedicate 8 IPs to be issued out automatically when computers are connected to a cisco 3560 switch dedicated to a work bank.  I know I can set a seperate VLan on the switch for the IPs.  How can I set it up for the DHCP to issue out only those 8 dedicated IP addresses for the computers  connected to the dedicated cisco 3560 switch?  Is it possible to configure the DHCP server or the Switch to do the task?

Answer : DHCP

To control addressing for devices hooked up to this switch, you have 2 options:

Make reservations for the devices, assuming that it is the same devices being hooked up every time.  My guess is that this isn't your circumstance.  You said 'work bank', which I'm going to interpret as workbench.  I'm assuming this is a way to segregate systems as they are being worked on?

Create a separate VLAN on the switch, thus creating a new subnet.  Then use the 'ip helper address' command to forward DHCP requests to your DHCP server.  Create a separate scope on the DHCP server for this new subnet.  The new subnet has to be routed by something, so you would need a Layer 3 switch or a router somewhere.  That is where you would use the 'ip helper address'.

DHCP is first come first serve, so other than subnetting, there is no way to tell the DHCP server "use these 8 addresses for devices on that switch"
