Demonstrate how easy IP can be used
to provide dynamic IP addressing
Background:
You administer a small network for
your company. You need a quick and easy DHCP server to give the
computers on your network IP addresses. You are running a
peer-to-peer network and do not have the funds for a new server. You
do however have access to the network router. Your job is to make a
DHCP server for your network.
Equipment Requirements:
One Router (needs to be running a
T version of IOS for example 12.0(5)T)
One Switch
One workstation
Step
1
Decide on the address pool that
you will be using in the lab.
Address Pool:
Step
2
Configure e0 with the first usable
address in the pool Address of e0:
Step
3
Configure the dhcp pool on the
router
router(config)#ip
dhcp pool WORD
router(dhcp-config)#network
A.B.C.D/nn
router(dhcp-config)#default-router
A.B.C.D
Default router address:
Step
4
Connect the workstation and the
router to the switch
Set the workstation to
automatically obtain an IP address
Depending on your OS verify that
the workstation received an IP address.
For example with Windows 95 it is
winipcfg and for Windows NT its ipconfig.
Release and renew the IP address.
Is the address from the pool defined in step 3?
What is the default Gateway?
Does the default Gateway match the
default router address from step 3?
Step
5
Your network administrator has
decided he needs five servers to have static addresses and those
addresses have to come from the pool.
Configure the router so it will
not give out the first five usable addresses in your network
