Hello, I'm trying to decide whether to go for a managed or unmanaged setup for my small server. I need to know if it's best to use a DHCP server on a Windows 2019 machine connected to an unmanaged switch. Let me clarify my thoughts.
You're right, connecting directly to a client via a switch typically requires a smart-managed device.
It seems like you're asking about the relationship between clients A and B. Could you clarify what you mean by "talk to"? Are you referring to a specific process, interaction, or role they play in each other's work?
Yup, that's how the operate. The only time it will go to the server or to a router is if you have multiple subnets at play on different VLANs where they have to talk through the router to get to each other. (assuming no L3 switch is involved of course)
