How To configure DHCP Server On a Cisco Router

Hey Friends Today i'm going to Tell You how we can configure a cisco Router as a DHCP Server .

Using a DHCP Server we can Dynamically Provide the following things to a device on our network:

ip address

subnet mask

default-route

DNS server address

In this example we will consider that we have a network range of 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255 for

which we are going to configure the DHCP Server and the DNS Server address would be 4.2.2.2

the default route for each device on the network would be 10.0.0.1

We will exclude the network Range of 10.0.0.0 - 10.0.0.10 so that we can use these addresses later manually

Turn On Your Cisco Router and Type down the following commands :

Router>enable

Router#configure terminal

Router(config)#ip dhcp excluded-address 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.10

Router(config)#ip dhcp pool Maati

Router(dhcp-config)#network 10.0.0.0 255.0.0.0

Router(dhcp-config)#default-router 10.0.0.1

Router(dhcp-config)#dns-server 4.2.2.2
