This section provides information to help you plan your DHCP strategy. When planning your implementation of DHCP, consider the following issues:
Your existing network topology, that is, how you set up your routers and subnets, provides a basic configuration for the distribution of DHCP resources such as Subnet objects, Subnet Address Range objects, and IP Address objects.
Your existing eDirectory implementation should be incorporated into your planning. Place the Locator object near the top of your eDirectory tree where it can be easily accessed by all servers.
The length of time you set for your leases affects traffic on the network.
