$1\mathrm{.}1$ Lab $2$: DHCP Configuration $1\mathrm{.}1\mathrm{.}1$ Introduction $1\mathrm{.}1\mathrm{.}1\mathrm{.}1$ About This Lab The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol $($DHCP$)$ dynamically configures and uniformly manages IP addresses of hosts. It simplifies network deployment and scale$-$out, even for small networks. DHCP is defined in RFC $2131$ and uses the client$/$server communication mode. A client $($DHCP client$)$ requests configuration information from a server $($DHCP server$),$ and the server returns the configuration information allocated to the client. DHCP supports dynamic and static IP address allocation. $$ Dynamic allocation: DHCP allocates an IP address with a limited validity period $($known as a lease$)$ to a client. This mechanism applies to scenarios where hosts temporarily access the network and the number of idle IP addresses is less than the total number of hosts. $$ Static allocation: DHCP allocates fixed IP addresses to clients as configured. Compared with manual IP address configuration, DHCP static allocation prevents manual configuration errors and enables unified maintenance and management. $1\mathrm{.}1\mathrm{.}1\mathrm{.}2$ Objectives Upon completion of this task, you will be able to: $$ Learn how to configure an interface address pool on the DHCP server $$ Learn how to configure a global address pool on the DHCP server $$ Learn how to use DHCP to allocate static IP addresses $1\mathrm{.}1\mathrm{.}1\mathrm{.}3$ Networking Topology To reduce the workload of IP address maintenance and improve IP address utilization, an enterprise plans to deploy DHCP on the network. $1.$ Configure R$1$ and R$3$ as DHCP clients. $2.$ Configure R$2$ as the DHCP server to assign IP addresses to R$1$ and R$3.$ Figure $1-1$ Lab topology for DHCP configuration Use the following config details on R$2$ GigabitEthernet$0/0/3-$ ip address $10\mathrm{.}0\mathrm{.}12\mathrm{.}224$ GigabitEthernet$0/0/4-$ ip address $10\mathrm{.}0\mathrm{.}23\mathrm{.}224$ Dns address $10\mathrm{.}0\mathrm{.}12\mathrm{.}2$ gateway address $10\mathrm{.}0\mathrm{.}23\mathrm{.}2$ IP lease $2$hrs Bind the MAC of R$3$ to the ip$-$address $10\mathrm{.}0\mathrm{.}23\mathrm{.}3$ Submit a pdf file with the configuration details
