Objectives
Part 1: Configure a Router as a DHCP Server
Part 2: Configure DHCP Relay
Part 3: Configure a Router as a DHCP Client
Part 4: Verify DHCP and Connectivity
Scenario
A dedicated DHCP server is scalable and relatively easy to manage but can be costly to have one at every location in a network.
However, a Cisco router 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 Cisco router as 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 a Router as a DHCP Server
Step 1: Configure the excluded IPv4 addresses.
Configure R2 to exclude the first 10 addresses from the R1 and R3 LANs. All other addresses should be available in the DHCP address
pool.
R1 exclude the first 10 addresses from 192.168.10.1 – 192.168.10.10

Use the show ip dhcp pool command show the ip addresses were excluded
R3 exclude the first 10 addresses from 192.168.30.1 – 192.168.30.10

Use the show ip dhcp pool command show the ip addresses were excluded

Use the show ip dhcp pool command show the ip addresses were excluded
Step 2: Create a DHCP pool on R2 for the R1 LAN.
a. Create a DHCP pool named R1-LAN (case-sensitive).

b. Configure the DHCP pool to include the network address, the default gateway, and the IP address of the DNS server.

Step 3: Create a DHCP pool on R2 for the R3 LAN.


a. Create a DHCP pool named R3-LAN (case-sensitive).
b. Configure the DHCP pool to include the network address, the default gateway, and the IP address of the DNS server.

Part 2: Configure DHCP Relay


Step 1: Configure R1 and R3 as a DHCP relay agent.
On R1, enter the interface g0/0 and assign the helper-address to 10.1.1.2 which is the IP address of R2 interface s0/0/0

On R3, enter the interface g0/0 and assign the helper-address to 10.2.2.2 which is the IP address of R2 interface s0/0/1
Step 2: Set PC1 and PC2 to receive IP addressing information from DHCP.
PC1 DHCP configuration
DHCP request was successful

PC2 DHCP configuration


DHCP request was successful

Part 3: Configure R2 as a DHCP Client


a. Configure the Gigabit Ethernet 0/1 interface on R2 to receive IP addressing from DHCP and activate the interface.
b. Use the show ip interface brief command to verify that R2 received an IP address from DHCP.

Part 4: Verify DHCP and Connectivity


Step 1: Verify DHCP bindings.
R2# show ip dhcp binding

Step 2: Verify configurations.


Verify that PC1 and PC2 can now ping each other and all other devices.
Ping from PC1 to PC2(192.168.30.11) was 75% successful with 1 out of 4 packets being dropped.

Ping from PC2 to PC1(192.168.10.13) was 100% successful with 0 out of 4 packets being dropped.
