The server managing VLANs must be able to listen to VLANs, so it must be a separate physical machine or a virtual machine on a hypervisor with VLAN support, such as VMware ESXi (see see How to configure an ESXi host to support VLAN tagging) or RedHat KVM.

To configure a single DHCP server with VLAN support, see Configuring a DHCP Server

To install a DHCP Relay server with the Abiquo OVA install - see Automatically Configuring One DHCP Relay Server.

For example, you could use the upper range of the management network. If you have complex requirements, you may need to adapt these configurations.
