DHCP thangs:

Creating Pools:

DHCP server pools deal out ip addresses to new hosts in need of addresses. In order to serve addresses, a pool must be set up to do so.

In Packet tracer, you must go to a servers services tab and then to DHCP. From here it is pretty straightforward:

• Set service to on
• Use a subnet table to determine suitable ranges to assign ips
• You have a lot of control over the amount, so get creative with the needs presented to you (EX. segmenting the amount of hosts assigned to fill your needs and nothing more in order to create buffers)

IP Helper Addresses:

The Ip Helper Address is the address that tells the end devices connected to the router that has a helper address described which device is the DHCP server. To set this, simply run the commands on the main router:

For each Vlan:

• config t, interface vlan x, ip helper-address x.x.x.x

Thats it!
