That is the reason to use VLANs.

Indeed. The DHCP server must also be VLAN-aware.


I suggest you read up on the 802.1q standard to learn more about how
VLANs work and how they are best used in your configuration.

http://standards.ieee.org/getieee802/802.1.html

Scroll down a bit and you'll see IEEE 802.1Q, 2003 Edition.

1q also covers priority, but start with the VLAN stuff.
