DHCP is router level stuff (layer 3). At present all the hardware we sell is switch level (layer 2).

We do have a product that will be able to do routing, this is [SwitchBlox Rugged](https://botblox.io/products/rugged-ethernet-switch) + [Rugged SoM](https://botblox.io/rugged-som/). But it’s not released yet.

One workaround way of doing this is using a “router-on-a-stick” configuration. [Router on a stick - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Router_on_a_stick)

For that you only need a switch that can handle VLANs; which [UbiSwitch](https://botblox.io/ubiswitch-module-3-x-10gbase-t-8-1gbase-t-switch/) and [SwitchBlox Industrial](https://botblox.io/switchblox-industrial/) can.
