Lab 3.3: DHCP Server in Packet Tracer

Summary

In this lab we worked on creating a DHCP server that was able to communicated over multiple VLANs and used ip helpers on the core switches. We used the same Subnet Table as the previous lab.

How to create pools

1. First select Services tab
2. Then select DHCP on the right side
3. Next type in the information you want
4. Finally Saving and Adding a. If new Pool select Add b. If editing Pool select Save

Working with serverPool

• serverPool is the Default Pool and cannot be removed
• In this lab we used serverPool for VLAN 1 Management
• In the photo shown above once you edit serverPool select Save because it’s already been made

Assigning IP helper addresses

1. Enter the CLI for a MLS
2. In (config) mode type interface vlan {VLAN-ID}
3. Then type ip helper-address {IPaddr-DHCP-Server}
4. Type exit
5. Repeat steps 2 to 4 for the rest of the VLANs

Any issues you encountered

The only issue I ran into was my ports on the East-Core-Switch were off-set by one
