2.8 Easy IP/DHCP
2.8.1 What is easy IP?
Cisco IOS Easy IP enables transparent and dynamic IP address allocation for hosts via DHCP, reduces router configuration tasks via dynamic PPP/IPCP address negotiation, conserves IP addresses via Port Address Translation (PAT), and minimizes Internet access costs for remote offices. Cisco IOS Easy IP is a combination of the following functionality:
  • PAT, a subset of NAT
  • Dynamic PPP/IPCP WAN interface IP address negotiation
