1stly, let me correct the statement. you are asking that :"IS it Possible that any device can distribute different IP other than the Router. is it server or any Switch". isn't it? if so, then the answer is:Yes. Server and also L3 switches can perform such actions by using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).  You just need to define the number of IP Pools with IP ranges you required. This service also can be use on Routers by enabling DHCP service.

IP can distribute via any system that can act like a DHCP Server,

will assign IPs to all nodes.

Whereas; L3 Switch can also serve as a DHCP Server and can assign IPs

Absolutely there are different devices that can perform the operation. 1.DHCP server  2. L3 switches3. A software program that is said to be configured as a router in Windows known as the Relay Agent( comes under DHCP server but different)

many ....

any device, software having DHCP option will be able to distribute IP Addresses to the network. For Example, WIFI Access Point, ADSL Modem, WIndows Server etc....

of course the router or multi layer switch or server, PC with DHCP service installed

All of them can behave like DHCP to distribute IP addresses for clients
