How to configure DHCP Service on Cisco Router


The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network protocol used to configure devices that are connected to a network so they can communicate on that network using the Internet Protocol (IP). The protocol is implemented in a client-server model, in which DHCP clients request configuration data, such as an IP address, a default gateway, and one or more DNS server addresses from a DHCP server.


This tutorial will walk you through configuring a Cisco Router to server as a DHCP server for client computers.


Commands:

R1>enable
R1#conf t
R1(config)#service dhcp                                     >   Enables DHCP

R1(config)#ip dhcp pool mydhcp                                >   Create a DHCP pool
R1(dhcp-config)#network 192.168.100.0 255.255.255.0             >    The network used to get IP address from Router
R1(dhcp-config)#default-router 192.168.100.254                   >   Default gateway of Hosts
R1(dhcp-config)#dns-server 192.168.100.250                    >   DNS Server of Hosts
R1(dhcp-config)#exit
R1(config)#
R1(config)#ip dhcp excluded-address 192.168.100.1 192.168.100.50                 >   The address that we want to excluded from DHCP pool. These address never been used by Router to lease.
R1(config)#exit
R1#

Below the Configuration in exhibit.

In Host, type the command ipconfig /release in order to release the old IP address. And type ipconfig /renew to get the IP address from Cisco Router

  1. Nice explanation, one question though when you exclude ip addresses do you define the range or the actual IPs?
    in the example above are both IPs 192.168.100.1 and 192.168.100.50 excluded or all the 50 IPs in that range?

  2. Look at the command prompt, its the first pc to get its ip address > 192.168.1.51.

  5. Is it true that you are utilizing your router to its full capacity? In the event that you've been a standard internet client, you may have eventually gone over a numerical portrayal like 192.168.1.1. This article clarifies what 192.168.1.1 is and fills in as a fundamental guide on the most proficient method to tackle it while accessing the internet.

    You can consider it an online address. Every gadget associated with the internet should have a remarkable address, which will empower successful trade of information between the gadget and the remainder of the computerized world. This is like the one of a kind 10.0.0.0.1 address/email/phone number that we each need to trade correspondence.

    On the internet, this address is known as the 192.168.10.1 Internet Protocol (IP) address. In a run of the mill home network, the router will allocate an IP address to every gadget associated with it. It has its own IP as well (router IP). A specific scope of IP addresses has been held for private networks, for example, homes, Local Area Networks (LAN)/Wireless Area Networks (WAN) within a venture, etc. These IP addresses can't be alloted to an openly accessible site (internet locales). These extents are:

CCNA EIGRP Simulation (NEW)

After adding Interior router, no routing updates are being exchanged between Perimeter and the new location. All other inter connectivity and Internet access for the existing locations of the company are working properly. The Task is to identify the fault(s) and correct the router configurations to provide full connectivity between the routers. Access to the router CLI can be gained by clicking on the appropriate host. All passwords on all routers are cisco. IP Address are listed in the chart below Steps Remove invalid Autonomous System Number and add the correct Autonomous System Number Interior router. The Autonomous System Number is found in the topology: Add the network address of Fa0/0 interface of Perimeter router in EIGRP configuration. Because EIGRP neighbor relationship is not possible without the configuring connected interfaces. Answer Commands First we shou...
