Scenario
A dedicated DHCP server is scalable and relatively easy to manage. It can be configured to provide DHCP
services without the need for a dedicated server. As the network technician for your company, you are tasked
with configuring a DHCP server to provide dynamic allocation of addresses to clients on the network. You are
also required to configure the edge router as a DHCP client so that it receives an IP address from the ISP
network.

Part 1: Configure the DHCP Server


Step 1: Exploring the DHCP Server
At first click the DHCP server and then an interface would pop up. Then select the services tab. Here you will
find many services but you need to select the second option (DHCP). You will see that the service is off, you
need to switch it on.

Step 2: Create a DHCP pool for R1 LAN

You will find a GUI similar to the figure shown. In the class task you were shown to write commands in
router to configure the DHCP pool, however you can configure the DHCP very easily using the GUI
provided.
1) Set the pool name as “R1_LAN”
2) Set the default gateway for R1 Lan (find the address from the table given above).
3) Set the IP address of the DNS Server (find the address from the table given above).

Step 3: Exclude addresses for R1 LAN


Configure DHCP Server to exclude the first 10 addresses from the R1. All other addresses should be
available in the DHCP address pool.
To do this you need to set the Start IP Address accordingly. For example, to exclude the first 10 addresses of
the network 192.168.10.0, the starting address will be 192.168.10.11.

Part 2: Configure DHCP Relay


Step 1: Configure R1 as a DHCP relay agent.
The helper address is the IP address of the DHCP server.

Step 2: Set PC1 to receive IP addressing information from DHCP.


Open PC1. Go to Ip Configuration and change static to DHCP.
Warning: You may receive DHCP APIPA error the first time. Change it to static and then try changing
to DHCP. It should be Successful.

Part 3: Verify DHCP and Connectivity

Step 1: Verify configurations.


Verify that you can browse cisco.com and publicsite.com from PC1 browser.
