As I promised in this blog I'm going to configure DHCP server for LAN clients.
First of all connect to you router with CCP, and from "Community Information" list select wich router you want to configure. After you discover device, click on "Configure".
To get to screen where you can see DHCP pools click...

 
Router => DHCP => DHCP Pools


 
A you can see I have already configured POOL_1, in this case I will edit my pool to see configurations.
To add new pool just click Add... button

Configure router to use the Cisco Configuration Professional

In this post I will configure router for CCP (Cisco Configuration Professional).
First of all you have to download CCP installation from Cisco http://www.cisco.com/go/ciscocp then install CCP like any windows application. After that configure router to be able to run CCP.

•    Enable HTTP and HTTPS
•    Configure HTTP for local authentication
•    Create local user with privilege level 15
•    VTY line with protocol ssh/telnet must be enabled with local authentication.
•    And as I recently read in Cisco documentation, an http timeout policy must be configured with the parameters (ip http timeout-policy idle 60 life 86400 requests 10000) to avoid launch issue with Cisco CP.
