Hi, I have 2 layer 2 switches interconnected that will be handing out ip's for the same network . I would like to know the best way to configure dhcp. Currently I have the range split with sw1 giving out half the address range and switch 2 giving out the other half. wondering if there is a better solution. Thank you

Why would you want two dhcp servers handing out addresses on the same subnet? If there's a trunk between the two switches, same VLAN on both sides, and they can communicate, you really only need one dhcp server.
