When the switch functions as the DHCP server, the DHCP client cannot obtain IP addresses. A DHCP server processes requests for address allocation, address renewal, and address release from DHCP clients or DHCP relay agents, and allocates IP addresses and other network configuration parameters to DHCP clients.
