Using a Cisco Router as a DHCP

Server
Step 1:Create a topology like
this,
Step 2:Configure router interface
fastethernet0/0 and fastethernet
 1/0 with ip address.

R1#config t
R1(config)#interface fastethernet 0/0
R1(config-if)#ip address 10.0.0.1 255.0.0.0
R1(config-if)#no shutdown

R1(config-if)#exit
R1(config)#interface fastethernet 1/0
R1(config-if)#ip address 20.0.0.1 255.0.0.0
R1(config-if)#no shutdown
R1(config-if)#exit
Step 3:Configure DHCP pool for the
network 10 and 20,
 In Router R1,Global Configuration mode,
 R1(config)#service dhcp
 This command is to enable the dhcp server
on a router. Routers in packet tracer won't
accept this command. By default dhcp will be
running on router so skip 'service dhcp'
command if you are configuring dhcp in
packet tracer, just create a network pool for
the network it will work. Use this in real time
or other simulators like gns3.
Cont….
 R1(config)#ip dhcp pool 10network "where '10network' is the pool
name we can use what ever we want.This command get us into the
DHCP Configuration mode."

R1(dhcp-config)#network 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0 "It defines the network


range to be leased"

R1(dhcp-config)#dns-server 10.0.0.2 "Ip address for the dns server."

R1(dhcp-config)#default-router 10.0.0.1 "Default gateway for this


network."

R1(dhcp-config)#exit
First Interface:DHCP pool for 10
Network
 R1(config)#ip dhcp pool 10network
R1(dhcp-config)#network 10.0.0.0
255.0.0.0
R1(dhcp-config)#dns-server 10.0.0.2
R1(dhcp-config)#default-router
10.0.0.1
R1(dhcp-config)#exit
DHCP pool for 20 Network
 R1(config)#ip dhcp pool 20network
R1(dhcp-config)#network 20.0.0.0
255.0.0.0
R1(dhcp-config)#dns-server 10.0.0.2
R1(dhcp-config)#default-router
20.0.0.1
R1(dhcp-config)#exit
Now, Click on any of the PC->Desktop->ip
configuration->Choose DHCP.Now PC will get an ip
from DHCP server.
Few more command We can use, but we can't configure this in packet
tracer.Use gns3 simulator for this.

 R1(dhcp-config)#netbios-server x.x.x.x 'where x.x.x.x is ip


address of netbios server.

R1(dhcp-config)#lease x 'where X is the number it sets the


lease time,by default 1 (i.e. one day).

R1(dhcp-config)#ip dhcp excluded address x.x.x.x x.x.x.x


'Range of ip address excluded from the pool it will not be
leased to the clients'.

R1(dhcp-config)#ip dhcp excluded address x.x.x.x 'To


exclude only one ip address from the range of ip address'
 R1(dhcp-config)#netbios-server
10.0.0.2
R1(dhcp-config)#lease 2
R1(dhcp-config)#ip dhcp excluded
address 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.10
R1(dhcp-config)#ip dhcp excluded
address 10.0.0.35
