DHCP issue
You're weighing two options for DHCP configuration: per-router setup versus centralized servers. Consider which approach suits your network size and management needs best.
Prioritize central management first; place DHCP server with DHCP relay on the routers. For simplicity in setup, installing it directly on the routers works well. However, the best choice still hinges on your specific needs.
It seems like you're trying to clarify a setup scenario. Essentially, it's about managing three major cities with around 800 users each, using DHCP to avoid duplicate IP addresses. The three routers should be set up so that if one fails, two remain operational. If you skip DHCP entirely, what alternative methods would you consider?
I quickly put this together—no need to worry about cables. Every PC would connect to the DHCP server through switches, then routers, before reaching its destination. This setup seems feasible. This is roughly one-third of the overall layout. Let me know if you need more details!
