Practical 8

Step 1: Create the Network Topology:


 Set up your network devices. You’ll need:
o A Router.
o A Switch.
o Multiple end devices (PCs or Laptops).
o A Server (for DHCP services).

Step 2: Configure the DHCP Server:


1. Select the Server:
o Click on the Server in the topology.
o Navigate to the Services tab.
2. Enable DHCP:
o In the Services tab, click on DHCP.
o Set the Service switch to "On".
3. Configure DHCP Pool:
o Under Pool Name, enter a name like serverPool.
o Set the Default Gateway to the IP address of the router's interface on the network
(e.g., 192.168.1.1).
o Set the Start IP Address to the first IP address you want to assign to devices
(e.g., 192.168.1.2).
o Set the Subnet Mask (e.g., 255.255.255.0).
o Leave the DNS Server and TFTP Server as 0.0.0.0 if not needed, or specify
the correct DNS server if required.
o Configure the Maximum Number of Users (e.g., 14).
o Click Save to apply the settings.

Step 3: Configure the Router:


1. Access Router Configuration:
o Click on the Router.
o Go to the Config tab and click on the interface (e.g., FastEthernet0/0 or
GigabitEthernet0/0).
2. Set the IP Address:
o Assign an IP address to the router's interface that connects to the network (e.g.,
192.168.1.1).
o Set the Subnet Mask (e.g., 255.255.255.0).
o Click On to enable the interface.

Step 4: Connect Devices:


 Connect all the end devices (PCs or Laptops) to the switch using the appropriate cables.
 Make sure the switch is connected to the router.

Step 5: Set End Devices to DHCP:


1. Click on each PC or Laptop in the network.
2. Go to the Desktop tab, then open IP Configuration.
3. Choose DHCP instead of Static IP configuration. The device should automatically
receive an IP address from the DHCP server.

Step 6: Verify DHCP Operation:


 Once DHCP is configured on the server and the PCs are set to DHCP mode, they should
automatically receive IP addresses.
 You can verify the IP addresses by:
1. Going to the Command Prompt of each PC (in the Desktop tab).
2. Using the command ipconfig to check the assigned IP address.
3. You can also use the ping command to test connectivity between the devices
(e.g., ping 192.168.1.2).
