Simple switch with DHCP for HDMI extenders (IP)

Dujith

Looking to setup 12 HDMI extenders, ACT AC7851 fed by an ACT AC7850. These extender work in point to multipoint using a normal network.

From experience i know that using them in the normal office/home network they tend to drown out normal traffic, so i'm just going to use a separate switch for them (cabling is already separate)

I was thinking of using a managed switch that can act as a DHCP server (would save me the hassle from setting up each device with a fixed IP).

 

Can any managed switch do this? So many switches and i do not know enough about them if: 

A. A switch alone would suffice

B. What managed switches have a DHCP server?

 

Any nod in the right direction would be appreciated.

as far as i'm aware, none. because DHCP 'shouldnt' live on your switch.

 

if you need DHCP, and dont really have many  other requirements, just buy a "sort by price" router along with your switch.
