Hi,

Unless you are talking about a very high number of clients requesting DHCP info from the router, then performance should not be adversely affected.

What speed is the link to the router and how many clients are you talking about?

Many thanks

lan speed is 100 mbps and around 30-50 client

Rajat,

I agree with Jonathan. The impact of running DHCP will be negligible.

Best regards,
