Lab 1 (DHCP Service):

DHCP(config)#service dhcp (Enabled by default on router but disabled by default on L2

switch).

DHCP(config)#ip dhcp excluded-address 192.168.0.1 (Will be assigned to the DHCP server

itself).

DHCP(config)#ip dhcp excluded-address 192.168.0.230 192.168.0.254

DHCP(config)#ip dhcp pool LAN_1

DHCP(dhcp-config)#network 192.168.0.0 /24

DHCP(dhcp-config)#default-router 192.168.0.1

DHCP(dhcp-config)#dns-server 4.2.2.2 4.2.2.3 8.8.8.8 (Can assign up to 8 DNS servers).

DHCP(dhcp-config)#domain-name cita.net

DHCP(dhcp-config)#lease 2

DHCP(dhcp-config)#int f0/0

DHCP(config-if)#ip address 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0

DHCP(config-if)#no shut

Now we will configure the host to take IP dynamically:

Using wireshark, you can see the DHCP process between the client and the server.
On the client if you want to renew the lease, you can use the command:

Notice that the renew process is just pass through the Request and Ack processes only.

If you wishes to release the lease between the client and the server use the cmd command:

Ipconfig /release
Lab 2 ( IP helper-address ):

DHCP(config)#ip dhcp excluded-address 192.168.0.1 192.168.0.10

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

DHCP(config)#ip dhcp pool LAN1

DHCP(dhcp-config)#network 192.168.0.0 /24

DHCP(dhcp-config)#default-router 192.168.0.1

DHCP(dhcp-config)#dns-server 4.2.2.2

DHCP(dhcp-config)#domain-name cita.net

DHCP(dhcp-config)#ip dhcp pool LAN2

DHCP(dhcp-config)#network 10.0.0.0 /24

DHCP(dhcp-config)#default-router 10.0.0.1

DHCP(dhcp-config)#dns-server 4.2.2.2

DHCP(dhcp-config)#domain-name cita.net

DHCP(dhcp-config)#int f0/0

DHCP(config-if)#ip add 10.0.0.2 255.255.255.0

DHCP(config-if)#no shut

Router(config)#int f0/0

Router(config-if)#ip add 10.0.0.1 255.255.255.0

Router(config-if)#no shut
Router(config-if)#int f0/1

Router(config-if)#ip add 192.168.0.1 255.255.255.0

Router(config-if)#no shut

Router(config-if)#ip helper-address 10.0.0.2

The DHCP server must have a route back to the 192.168.0.0 network:

Scenario 1) Configure a static route on the DHCP router server to reach the
192.168.0.0 network.
DHCP(config)#ip route 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0 10.0.0.1
Scenario 2) Configure the DHCP router as a normal host.
DHCP(config)#no ip route 192.168.0.0 255.255.255.0 10.0.0.1

DHCP(config)#no ip routing

DHCP(config)#ip default-gateway 10.0.0.1

Scenario 3) if it is a Microsoft or Linux DHCP server, or any DHCP server
configured on a computer, make sure it has a default gateway pointing to
10.0.0.1.

Lab 3 (DHCPV6):

The dynamic assignment of IPv6 global unicast addresses can be configured in three ways:

1- Stateless Address Autoconfiguration (SLAAC) only:

DHCPV6#debug ipv6 nd

ICMP Neighbor Discovery events debugging is on

DHCPV6#config t

DHCPV6(config)#int f0/0

DHCPV6(config-if)#ipv6 address 2001::1/64

List of known servers:

Reachable via address: 2001::1

DUID: 00030001C20207CC0000

Preference: 0

Configuration parameters:

DNS server: 2001::4:2:2:2

Domain name: cisco.com

Information refresh time: 0

Rapid-Commit: disabled

But to be able to use the domain lookup, we have to enable it:

Client1(config)#ip domain-lookup
 3- Stateful DHCPv6:

The IOS I’m using doesn’t support stateless DHCPv6, but here is the configuration any
way.
DHCPV6(config)#ipv6 dhcp pool LAN

DHCPV6(config-dhcpv6)#address prefix 2001::/64

DHCPV6(config)#int f0/0

DHCPV6(config-if)#ipv6 nd managed-config-flag
