I am unsure if I am posting this in the right forum. If I am not, please advise me as to where I should post it. This is a frantic cry for help after the professor for my Network Defense and Countermeasures class decided to turn the class into a Cisco class, and give us an assignment requiring Packet Tracer. I have zero experience with Packet Tracer, and am trying to learn as I go. The following is the assignment itself.
Let me show you what I have stumbled my way through so far in Packet Tracer.
I THINK I have properly configured the DHCP IP pools on router2
Is "current index" the address for the default gateway? When setting up the pools, I used "default-router" and put the addresses of the gigabit interfaces connected from router3 to the switches.
The assignment states that router2 is supposed to provide DHCP services for the two different subnets connected to router3. Understandably, the PCs aren't getting a response to their DHCP requests as router3 is "in the way". I tried using "ip helper" to point S0/1/0 on router3 to S0/1/0 on router2, forwarding the DHCP requests to router2. The actual command I used in the CLI was, for S0/1/0, "ip helper-address 10.0.0.1".
I am not sure what else I need to do however, or if (very likely) I did something wrong along the way. The PCs are unable to receive any DHCP addressing. If there is anymore information I can provide, please ask me for it as I am not sure where to go from here to accomplish the requested task.

Hi
Just zip you packettracer project and attach here. Will be much more easier to help you.
what this kind of exercise does is to test you in some basic networking knowledges. Like, the DHCP request sent by a PC pass through the switch but it dies in the router as the router will not forwad a broadcast request unless you tell him to do.

I believe I figured it out actually. I have attached a second network I started from scratch to see if starting over would get me anywhere. I also found this video which revealed to me the missing steps. I had not configured any routing options between the routers.

That looks hard, does anyone found a suggestion for it? I prefer to use some sources like this one http://essaypapers.reviews/ to get help with my uni tasks, but idk the author might use in such a situation...
