Shahid,
To configure Cisco IOS DHCP, follow these steps, which include sample commands:
- Configure an IP address on the router's Ethernet port, and bring up the interface. (On an existing router, you would have already done this.)
Router(config)# interface ethernet0/0
Router(config-if)#ip address 1.1.1.1 255.0.0.0
Router(config-if)# no shutdown
- Create a DHCP IP address pool for the IP addresses you want to use.
Router(config)# ip dhcp pool mypool
- Specify the network and subnet for the addresses you want to use from the pool.
Router(dhcp-config)# network 1.1.1.0 /8
- Specify the DNS domain name for the clients.
Router(dhcp-config)#domain-name mydomain.com
- Specify the primary and secondary DNS servers.
Router(dhcp-config)#dns-server 1.1.1.10 1.1.1.11
- Specify the default router (i.e., default gateway).
Router(dhcp-config)#default-router 1.1.1.1
- Specify the lease duration for the addresses you're using from the pool.
Router(dhcp-config)#lease 7
- Exit Pool Configuration Mode.
Router(dhcp-config)#exit
Hope this helps,
David
