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.

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]
