Objectives
Part 1: Build the Network and Configure Basic Device Settings
Part 2: Configure a DHCPv4 Server and a DHCP Relay Agent
Part 1: Build the Network and Configure Basic Device Settings
In Part 1, you will set up the network topology and configure the routers and switches with basic settings, such as
passwords and IP addresses. You will also configure the IP settings for the PCs in the topology.

Step 1: Configure basic settings for each router.


a. Console into the routers and enter global configuration mode.
b. Configure the host names as shown in the topology.
c. Configure the IPv4 addresses on the routers as shown in the topology.
d. Set the DCE serial interfaces with a clock rate of 128000.

Step 2: Configure dynamic, default, and static routing on the routers.


a. Configure RIPv2 for R1.
R1(config)# router rip
R1(config-router)# version 2
R1(config-router)# network 192.168. <n+0>.0
R1(config-router)# network 192.168. <n+1>.0
R1(config-router)# network 192.168. <n+2>.252
R1(config-router)# no auto-summary
b. Configure RIPv2 and a default route to the ISP on R2.
R2(config)# router rip
R2(config-router)# version 2
R2(config-router)# network 192.168. <n+2>.252
R2(config-router)# default-information originate
R2(config-router)# exit
R2(config)# ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 209.165. <n+200>.225
c. Configure a summary static route on ISP to reach the networks on the R1 and R2 routers.
ISP(config)# ip route 192.168. <n+0>.0 255.255.255.0 209.165. <n+200>.226

Step 3: Verify network connectivity between the routers.


If any pings between routers fail, correct the errors before proceeding to the next step. Use show ip route and show
ip interface brief to locate possible issues.

Checkpoint: At this point, it is important to verify that the host PCs are configured to use DHCP.

Part 2: Configure a DHCPv4 Server and a DHCP Relay Agent


To automatically assign address information on the network, you will configure R2 as a DHCPv4 server and R1 as a
DHCP relay agent.

Step 1: Configure DHCPv4 server settings on router R2.


On R2, you will configure a DHCP address pool for each of the R1 LANs. Use the pool name R1G0 for the G0/0 LAN
and R1G1 for the G0/1 LAN. You will also configure the addresses to be excluded from the address pools. Best
practice dictates that excluded addresses be configured first, to guarantee that they are not accidentally leased to
other devices. See Appendix A for details.
Exclude the first 9 addresses in each R1 LAN. All other addresses should be available in the DHCP address pool.
Make sure that each DHCP address pool includes a default gateway, the domain ccna-lab.com, a DNS server
(209.165.200.225), and a lease time of 2 days. Note: An example of the required commands is provided in Appendix
A. Test your knowledge by trying to configure DHCP on R1 and R2 without referring to the appendix.
On the lines below, write the commands necessary for configuring DHCP services on router R2, including the DHCP-
excluded addresses and the DHCP address pools.

On PC-A or PC-B, open a command prompt and enter the ipconfig /all command. Did either of the host PCs receive
an IP address from the DHCP server? Why?

Step 2: Configure R1 as a DHCP relay agent.


Configure IP helper addresses on R1 to forward all DHCP requests to the R2 DHCP server.

Step 3: Record IP settings for PC-A and PC-B.


On PC-A and PC-B, issue the ipconfig /all command to verify that the PCs have received IP address information
from the DHCP server on R2. Record the IP and MAC address for each PC.

Based on the DHCP pool that was configured on R2, what are the first available IP addresses that PC-A and PC-B
can lease?

Step 4: Verify DHCP services and address leases on R2.


a. On R2, enter the show ip dhcp binding command to view DHCP address leases.

Along with the IP addresses that were leased, what other piece of useful client identification information is in the
output?

b. On R2, enter the show ip dhcp server statistics command to view the DHCP pool statistics and message
activity.

How many types of DHCP messages are listed in the output?

c. On R2, enter the show ip dhcp pool command to view the DHCP pool settings.
In the output of the show ip dhcp pool command, what does the current index refer to?

d. On R2, enter the show run | section dhcp command to view the DHCP configuration in the running
configuration.

e. On R1, enter the show run | section interface command for interfaces G0/0 and G0/1 to view the DHCP relay
configuration in the running configuration.

prefer: using DHCP relay agents with a centralized DHCP server, or multiple routers acting as DHCP servers? Justify
