Networking

[Sanjay916]

Hello, I am trying to solve this network. It is a bit challenging. I am trying to configure static routing, dhcp, and ip helper address. My dhcp is not sending any address to my pc. My static routing is not working. I am not sure what I doing wrong please help. I include a screenshot of the network diagram and  a screenshot of my config script. 

[balaji.bandi]

A Router connected to network with hosts should use the last available IP in the subnet

High level it should work - check before adding, there may be some typos - add IP helper config to work on the interface towards DHCP

[Sanjay916]

Thank you for replying. PC0 is getting an ip address from the dhcp. But i notice that PC1 and PC2 is not getting any ip address. I used the ip helper on router 1 and router 2 but it is still not getting the ip address. This is the command i used 

ip helper-address 195.165.85.62.

[balaji.bandi]

PC0 getting IP address - in the same range ?

ip dhcp pool net32
network 195.165.85.32 255.255.255.224
default-router 195.165.85.62

Can you post Router0 / Router 1 / router 2 config   - just to clarify some information before i can advise.

[Sanjay916]

Yes, PC0 is getting an address 195.165.85.33.

This is the configuration for router 0,1and 2

[balaji.bandi]

I have not seen a helper address that has not provided Router 0 helper config- try below.

remove old helper-address and try below on below routers and let us know. (typing from mobile may be some typo)

Router 1

int gig 0/2 ip helper-address 195.165.85.94

Router 2

int gig 0/1 ip helper-address 192.165.85.6

[Sanjay916]

I remove the helper addresses and reconfigure it with the ones that you provided but it didn't work. Also, in your last reply  i notice that you made a typo for Router 2 you be put .6 but i believe it suppose to be .126

I also notice that router0 cant ping router 2. I am wondering if their is an issues somewhere along their. 

[balaji.bandi]

sure as i mentioned the mobile has some correction

get in to device - show run and post full config. on all routers

[Sanjay916]

Ok. Thank you. Here the configurations of router 0, 1, and 2.

I was in impression router 1 acting as DHCP - But as per the config Router 0 acting as DHCP Server, so we need to change as below bold  - test and advise

When I try input to input the ip route into router 1. I keep getting invalid hop. 

Router(config)#no ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.165.85.6

%No matching route to delete

Router(config)#ip route 195.165.85.32 255.255.255.224 195.165.85.6

%Invalid next hop address (it's this router)

Router(config)#ip route 195.165.85.64 255.255.255.224 195.165.85.6

%Invalid next hop address (it's this router)

Router(config)#ip route 195.165.85.96 255.255.255.224 195.165.85.126

[balaji.bandi · Accepted solution]

make sure your paste command correct device, you pasting commands of Router2 on Router 1 -  read the post correctly

[Sanjay916]

Ok thank you very much for the help. It is working now.

[MHM Cisco World]

return path from DHCP server to IP help interface.
check this point.
