Nexus 6000 DHCP_NX-OS

[incognito]

Hello, friends!

As I understand on nexus 6000 we can not configure DHCP pool/DHCP server (like on catalyst switches) and can configure only dhcp relay? I mean on nexus we cannot configure DHCP server? Do we must install separate DHCP Server on Windows server for example??Is it right?

As per the Cisco Valid design, this switch meant to DC environment for the Server Switch - So expect to handle more of the Servicer high traffic.

Unlike other Enterprise switch requirement.

So the best way to have IPAM or DHCP Server out of the box is good so you can not dependent on the switch if that fails.
