DHCP Server On-Demand Addres Pool


Scenario:

Your network has many serial links running PPP. You heard some good things about DHCP and how you can create on-demand pools using IPCP. Let’s see if it works the way you expect…

Goal:

  • Configure both routers for PPP encapsulation.
  • Configure router John so router Williams receives IP address 192.168.12.2 thanks to IPCP.
  • Configure router William with a DHCP pool that imports the subnet mask that it receives from router John.

IOS:

c3640-jk9o3s-mz.124-16.bin

Topology:

DHCP Server On-Demand Address Pool

  1. Hi Rene,

    Thank you for the lab,

    I have repeated the configuration, but without the dhcp pool and it still worked.

    It looks like the following lines are not necessary:

    [b]ip dhcp pool MYPOOL
    import all
    origin ipcp[/b]
