DHCP for Software Switch

Hi, I have just watched the video on putting my Wireless and Internal network together using a Software Switch, the video tells you to set DHCP on the Software Switch.  Can I leave DHCP off as I have a windows DHCP server on the Internal network already? And will the windows DHCP server issue IP addresses to the wireless clients.

This is an example for tunnel mode. I'm not sure if the same way would work for bridge mode. My guess is it would.

Where you set DHCP to be served from is your call. It most certainly can be left off. The Windows box will serve IPs to all asking in the collision domain, so yes, wireless will get the same info as wired.
