I have a table on SQL Server for 255 IP address and each IP refers to a room. Typically client in any room will access a webpage and this page will automatically pickup his ip. The issue i am facing here is that how can I restrict the client pc to take the ip i want.
I.E. Client in room1 must obtain ip 192.168.0.1 (DHCP) when he connects his PC.

is the solution to create a VLAN on the Switch PORT which cable goes to the room?
I.E. Port 24 cable on Switch 1 goes to Room24. Also Port24 has a VLAN24 defined on it with IP 192.168.0.24 ..which is the IP i want client in Room24 to automatically get.

The other issue is DHCP smart enough to understand that VLAN24 Security can only allow 192.168.0.24 to pass...??

It's too complex i know...and i am in a mess..little help will surley encourage me!! Thanks!
