DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol is the protocol used by network devices such as PCs, network printers, etc to automatically obtain correct network parameters so they can access network and Internet resources such as IP Address, Default Gateway, Domain Name, DNS Servers and more. A DHCP Server is considered necessary in todays networks. Devices usally found providing this service are Windows servers, routers and layer 3 switches. This article describes how to configure basic DHCP parameters on a Cisco router, enabling it to act as a DHCP server for your network. Example Scenario. For the sake of this article, suppose we have the network shown in the following diagram, for which we would like to enable the DHCP service on our Cisco router. The router will act as a DHCP server for the 1. IP Addresses already assigned to our switch 1. File Server 1. 92. DHCP pool, to ensure they are not given out to other hosts and cause an IP address conflict. First step is to enable the DHCP service on our router, which by default is enabled. First step is to enable the DHCP service on our router, which by default is enabled R1 configure terminal. R1config service dhcp. Next step is to create the DHCP pool that defines the network of IP addresses that will be given out to the clients. Note that NET POOL is the name of the DHCP IP Pool we are creating R1config ip dhcp pool NET POOLR1dhcp config network 1. This tells the router to issue IP addresses for the network 1. We will have to exclude the IP addresses we want later on. We now define the DHCP parameters that will be given to each client. These include the default gateway default router, dns servers, domain and lease period days R1dhcp config default router 1. Remove Cs3 Before Cs5 Install on this page. R1dhcp config dns server 1. R1dhcp config domain name Firewall. R1dhcp config lease 9 The domain name and lease parameters are not mandatory. By default, the lease time for an IP address is one day, however we can specify any time range we need. For example, if we need to set the lease time for 4 hours and 3. DHCP pool R1dhcp config lease 0 4 3. The above command is interpreted as follows 0 Zero days, 4 hours and 3. All we need now is to exclude the IP addresses we dont want our DHCP server giving out. Drop back to global configuration mode and enter the following R1config ip dhcp excluded address 1. R1config ip dhcp excluded address 1. This excludes IP addresses 1. As you can see, theres an option to exclude a range of IP addresses or a specific address. The above configuration is all you need to get the DHCP server running for your network. Well provide a few more commands you can use to troubleshoot and ensure its working correctly. The following command will allow you to check which clients have been served by the DHCP R1 show ip dhcp binding Bindings from all pools not associated with VRF IP address Client ID Lease expiration Type.

We also saw how you can obtain general information about the service. There are more options available with the DHCP service, however this basic article should cover most of your network needs. Future DHCP articles will explore advanced options and debugging for more complex networks containing VLANs and IP Telephony.

How to install Cisco CCP and how to configure Cisco router for CCPFrom beginning, Cisco network devices are configured and managed using Cisco IOS CLI Command Line Interface by a console connection, telnet or SSH Secure Shell connection. Cisco gave network administrators and opportunity to work with GUI Graphical User Interface to configure and manage Cisco routers and switches using a product known as SDM Security Device Manager. CCP Cisco Configuration Professional is the latest GUI product to manage Cisco devices and CCP Cisco Configuration Professional will eventually replace Cisco Security Device Manager SDM. CCP Cisco Configuration Professional software includes GUIs, tools and wizards for configuring LAN and WAN interfaces and technologies like Firewall, VPN Virtual Private Network, Network Address Translation NAT, IPS Intrusion Prevention System etc. Cisco Configuration Professional supports Secure Shell SSHand Secure HTTP HTTPS to communicate with the Cisco devices. You can even connect Cisco devices using HTTP instead of HTTPS, if you have slow machines. Remember to use HTTP only in a demo or training session. HTTP traffic is not enmcrypted and someone in your network may capture your network credentials. Use HTTPS only in a real production environment.
