We're going to be enabling DHCP for the network we designed in Lab 2.1 - Subnet Design.


  1. Enable DHCP under services on the DHCP-01 Server

  1. Tell the router about the DHCP server (config)# interface vlan x (config-if)# ip helper-address 10.11.10.2

  2. Configure clients to use DHCP

You will need to set up DHCP in future labs so it is important to record the steps in your Tech Journal

Create an entry for "DHCP in Packet Tracer" and include the steps and commands you need to set it up such as:
