Hi, this may be a dumb question but needs asking. It seems like a relatively straight forward scenario but am looking for advice/suggestions/answers on it.
Small-Medium Business customers (size varies) but being SMB cost is a factor. Single DHCP server (eg W2K3) with single NIC, Cisco ESW-500 switch supporting CDP, IP phones (could be Polycom, Cisco or other) that support CDP.
Requirement: split data & voice onto separate VLANs to separate broadcast traffic from voice on LAN.
CDP will assign automatic VLAN to phones on boot before DHCP.
The question: is it possible to have a single scope providing DHCP to data & voice clients in separate VLANs?
Yes, a more complicated solution such as multiple NICs in DHCP server each on a separate VLAN switch port or using an eg Cisco router that is VLAN aware would do this but being SMB cost is a factor.
Maybe the answer is no. That's fine. But if yes then advice on the solution would be appreciated. To me it doesn't sound like that much to ask.
