CCNA Networking: DHCP Server Setup

This document reports on enabling a DHCP server inside a router. It describes how a DHCP server automatically assigns IP addresses to devices on a network. It outlines the steps to design a network using Cisco Packet Tracer, enable the DHCP server in the router's command line interface by creating a DHCP pool and attaching the network, and exclude the router's IP address. Upon requesting an IP address from the DHCP server, one of the PCs is successfully assigned an address, demonstrating that the DHCP server is enabled.

PROJECT 2
Enabling DHCP Server Inside the Router
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network management protocol
used so that DHCP server automatically assigns the IP addresses. A DHCP server
enables computers to request IP addresses and networking parameters automatically
from the Internet service provider (ISP), reducing the need for a network administrator
or a user to manually assign IP addresses to all network devices. In the absence of a
DHCP server, a computer or other device on the network needs to be manually
assigned an IP address, or to assign itself an APIPA address, which will not enable it
to communicate outside its local subnet.

Steps followed for enabling DHCP


server:

1. At first, the following network is designed using CISCO packet tracer as


shown below.
2. In the next step, open the Command line interface in the router and type
‘enable’ to go to the privileged mode and ‘configure terminal’ to go to the Global
configuration mode.

● Create DHCP pool using the syntax ‘ip dhcp pool name-pool’. Here,
name can be anything. If it is successful it enters into the dhcp-config
mode.
● Attach the network which is directly connected to the router along with its
subnet mask. Syntax for this is network ‘ip address subnet mask’.
● Create a default gateway for the network and exclude that IP address from
the DHCP server. These steps have the syntax as shown below:
‘default-router ip-address’
‘ip dhcp excluded-address ip address’

● With the above steps enabling dhcp server is


complete.
.

3. If we click on any PC and go to desktop->IPconfiguration->DHCP.This requests


for IP address from the DHCP server and it shows the success message along with
automatically assigned IP address as shown below.
