Multiple DHCP pools on Cisco 891F

[hochgenub]

Hi everyone,

I have a cisco 891F vpn router and would like to have more than one dhcp pool. Possible?

Current dhcp pool is 192.168.1.0/254, gateway 192.168.1.1

I would like to create a new pool with 192.168.30.0/24 with gateway 192.168.30.1

Is this possible and would really appreciate if someone guided me on this with the IOS scripts.

Many thanks in advance

Hello,

in order to make the leases infinite:

ip dhcp pool VLAN1

--> lease infinite

You can save the running config to the startup config and then reload the router from the CLI:

Router#copy run start (confirm the prompt)

then

Router#reload (confirm the prompt)

@Georg Pauwenprovided a solution for infinite leases. My question to that would be why? You are setting yourself up for problems with that. If you wish, you could make the lease time something like multiple days. Based on my experience, making them infinite will bite you in the rear end.
