Making router as the dhcp server

sudeesh79 · ‎06-30-2005

Hello..

We have one 1760 router which we want to make it as the DHCP server & assign dynamic addresses to 40 of our laptop users.

Router details:

Router (1760) ip address : 172.16.5.9

Subnet mask : 255.255.255.0

Plz help in configuring the same.

Hello,

a basic configuration would look like this:

1760#conf t

1760(config)#ip dhcp excluded-address 172.16.5.9 172.16.5.11

1760(config)#ip dhcp pool DHCP

1760(dhcp-config)#network 172.16.5.0 255.255.255.0

1760(dhcp-config)#domain-name myorg.com

1760(dhcp-config)#default-router 172.16.5.9

1760(dhcp-config)#dns-server 172.16.5.10

1760(dhcp-config)#netbios-name-server 172.16.5.11

1760(dhcp-config)#lease 3

This would give your clients a lease of 3 days.

There are other options available as well, you might want to check this document:
