In this lab, we made some brief adjustments to Lab 02-1 to prepare the file for Lab 03-3, most notably adding and configuring our routers to set up a DHCP server.

• Configuring a server that will serve as our DHCP server.
• Adjusting the East-Core-Switch to prepare for setting up a DHCP server.

• Hardware from the Lab 02-1
• 1 x Server-PT

I started by selecting end devices and adding a Server-PT to the left of the East Core Switch naming it DHCP-Server. Making use of the IP Table from Lab 02-1, I then configured this server giving it an IP address of 10.1.10.2, a subnet of 255.255.255.0, and a default gateway of 10.1.10.1.

With my DHCP-Server placed and set, I configured the East-Core-Switch.

I moved on and set East-Core-Switch's Fast Ethernet 0/3 as an access port on VLAN 1. I did this with the following commands:

# Elevate the terminal 
enable

# Enter the configuration terminal
configure terminal

# Select the FastEthernet0/3 interface
interface FastEthernet0/3

# Set interface FastEthernet0/3 as an access port on VLAN 1
switchport access vlan 1

# Exit out of the interface configuration
exit

# Select VLAN 1 and give it an IP address of 10.1.10.1 and a /24 subnet mask
interface vlan 1
ip address 10.1.10.1 255.255.255.0

# Enable the VLAN 1 interface
no shutdown

With my switch configured, I went on to wiring the DHCP-Server

To finish up this lab, I took a copper straight-through cable and wired the DHCP-Server to East-Core-Switch's Fast Ethernet 0/3 port. After this pinged from the DHCP-Server to the East-Core-Switch and a couple of other PCs on the network.

My submission can be found at this link here.

This screenshot showcases a successful ping from my DHCP-Server to my East-Core switch, and a couple of other PCs on the network.
