IP helper address is needed when your DHCP is behind routers, aka DHCP server is on different networks, behind B-cast domain.  Add ip helper-address 201.168.192.4 on routers on interfaces towards client requesting IP

Also, DHCP server says I have not pool configured for some of networks.  at  least 2 networks are not configured or not set up properly.

PC0 gets IP from DHCP after fix of helper address.

if this is a PT lab, you can attach PT file here but it must be in zip format.
