Lab Prep

To get started I got a server from "End Devices" and placed it to the left of the east core switch.

I set the IP address to 10.4.10.2/24 and the DNS to 10.4.10.1

Once the IP address was set I opened CLI on the East Core Switch and updated the settings with the following commands: enable, conf t, interface vlan 1, ip address 10.4.10.1 255.255.255.0, no shutdown

from there I made fa0/3 an access port and connected the server to the East Core Switch with a copper cross-over cable and ran some pings to make sure the server could ping the other machines.

DHCP Server Lab

To start I renamed my server to DHCP-01 and then opened up the GUI and opened "services" to enable DHCP and I set the all of the information needed for each section

FacStaff: DG 10.4.11.1, Start addr 10.4.11.20, subnet 255.255.255.0, Max users 236

Student: DG 10.4.8.1, Start addr 10.4.8.50, subnet 255.255.254.0, Max users 450

Lab1: DG 10.4.12.1, Start addr 10.4.12.120, subnet 255.255.255.0, Max users 50

Lab2: DG 10.4.12.64, Start addr 10.4.12.150, subnet 255.255.255.0, Max users 50

serverPool: Start Addr 10.4.10.100, Max users 156

After all of that was set I connected a new computer to the east switch and set it to get its IP from DHCP and it worked great!
