DSL and DHCP

[johnjr]

Is it possible to configure Cisco 828's to use a DHCP server without using any NAT commands? We are currently running Cisco 828's to a Cisco 6015 (DSLAM) and then to a CISCO 3725 router, which in turns plugs into a 6509 for network connectivity. We have a DHCP pool configured on the 3725, but we want all users to access a DHCP server. If it is possible, how would I set it up. Thanks.

John,

I presume you are talking about the DCHP pool, which is somewhat different from the NAT pool.

The general command to let the interface know that it will receive its address from the DCHP server is:

Router(config-if)#ip address dhcp [client-id interface name] [hostname host-name]

Otherwise see http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/sw/iosswrel/ps1835/products_configuration_guide_chapter09186a00800ca75c.html for an excellent guide on configuring DCHP.

Hope this helps,

Josef.

PS - don't fergit to rate!

as long as you have a DHCP scope already created on the DHCP server for the segment you plan to issue addresses to, you should be able to specify the ip helper-address on the 828's(LAN/ethernet) interface config so as to allow workstations get their ip from the DHCP server
