    As I know this switch can not be a DHCP server, so DHCP scope is not acceptable for it.

    You may create multiple scope assignment by using DHCP relay feature but the source assignment must come from DHCP server in your environment.

    it sure can. All 2600,2800,2900,3500,5400,6600 and 8212 switches can.

     

    On the VLAN that you are going to support this just type the following:

     

    ip helper-address xxx.xxx.xxx.xx1

    ip helper-address xxx.xxx.xxx.xx2

     

    when the client boots it will hit the first one then the next one. if the first one does not reply it will try the second in the list. for this reason, I alternate the order on my vlans just to try and load-balance the number of requests to the DHCP server.

    Those are not DHCP scopes, those are DHCP relays.

     

    DHCP scope means different dhcp subnets, ie. 10.123.4.X/24 and 10.123.5.X/24.

     

    Configuring multiple 'ip helper-address' you get a higher availability on a distributed DHCP platform but that's not what cysj05 is asking.

     

    Short answer, no, 3500 switches do not work as dhcp server so it can not use
