Hi Sham,

You can configure a DHCP server with the following commands:

(The ip addresses are just examples).

conf t

service dhcp (this is on by default)

ip dhcp pool VLAN_1

network 10.1.1.0 /24 (this command configures the address range for hosts in vlan 1. )

lease 1 (This command determines the lease time of the ip address in days)

default-router 10.1.1.1 (You can set the default gateway for the hosts on the subnet)

dns-server 192.168.1.1 (You can set the domain name server for the hosts on the subnet)

exit

This way you can specify many different pools for the different vlans.

Don't forget to configure the clients to use dhcp for getting their ip address.

Hi Victor,

Thank you for the rating!

Actually this was an easy one.

I saw you can solve quite complex problems as well.

Congrats!
