Configure Cisco router to be a DHCP server using CCP

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







First you have to name yours pool, enter DCHP network and subnet mask of that network.
Enter the starting and ending IP addresses in the range that will be assigned to a host.
Enter the amount of time that addresses are to be leased to clients.

 
DHCP Options

 
You can enter all information by yourself or you can check "Import all DHCP Options into the DHCP Server Database" and in that case DHCP will import all DHCP option parameters into DHCP server database sent by yours ISP. Default Router (*): is actually Default Gateway for your clients. In my case I left that option checked because it is default.






After you click ok you can see which command that will be sent to a router. And you can save them to a NVRAM by checking the "Save running config. to device's start up config."
 
NAT configuration later on..
