Routers are generally able to act as DHCP servers, and it's probably best if you set them up that way so that you don't have to deal with it on any of your servers. (I don't think I've ever seen a router where setting DHCP up required much more than a few mouse-clicks, saving your changes and restarting the router.) .
OK that is good to know.
This look as a peer to peer connection between the single computers of the network and the router.....
So … don't need to do any particular setting in order to assign the role of server to the router.

I need to o manage a computer as server, because this computer (the server) have to manage a ('subversion') repository on my local network.
That means that I don't need ONLY the access to Internet for my local network....
I need also that the client computers ,of the local net, need to TALK to the server computer of the local network, in order to send and recive data from it.

I am using Fedora 20 on two computers and I have also one computer that use Windows 8.
I wont realize a local network with these computers, but I am a little confused about the way to arrange my (client server) network configuration .
I understood that DHCP is the core to do the network configuration, but I have some doubts about how I have to arrange it.
Reading the documentation, I got the opinion that nothing need to do in the computers that have the role of Clients on the net; instead on the computer with the role of Server it need to write the file /etc/dhcpd.conf.
That is exact ?
What other important operation need to do to do becouse my local network works correctly?
It exists a good PRACTICAL tutorial to accomplish this task?
I ask this since most people have a DSL Router or a Cable Modem Router, etc. on their home networks to access the internet. All of these have build in DHCP servers which are adequate for most people and are easy to administer with their GUI. This is especially convenient if you power down systems since most people don't shutdown their routers. So, a DHCP server will always be available.
