Just like any other, there shouldn't be anything special to setup. <br />

My dhcp server is a VM and I have some other VMs that are dhcp clients. If the VM is in the same network or vlan, it'll work via broadcasts. If the client is in a different subnet/vlan you'll need a dhcprelay, usually setup on the router or default gateway for that subnet.

VMware, a software company founded in 1998,  was one of the first commercially successful companies to offer x86 virtualization. The storage company EMC purchased VMware in 1994. Dell Technologies acquired EMC in 2016. VMware’s parent company is now Dell Technologies.

VMware has many software products that run on desktops, Microsoft Windows, Linux, and macOS, which allows the virtualizing of the x86 architecture.  Its enterprise software hypervisor for servers, VMware vSphere Hypervisor (ESXi), is a bare-metal hypervisor that runs directly on the server hardware and does not require an additional underlying operating system.
