Basic lab topology with DHCP pool and DNS server
Today we will setup a DNS server on CiscoCSR1000v router and DHCP pool for 10.1.10.0/24 subnet on SW-A.
- DHCP pool for users
- DNS server on router
1. DHCP pool for users
In first step we will configure DHCP pool for users with name SWAUsers on SW-A switch. We will exclude used addresses 10.1.10.1 and 10.1.10.2
SW-A configure DHCP server pool with name SWAUsers
en
conf t
do sh ip int brief
ip dhcp excluded-address 10.1.10.1 10.1.10.2
ip dhcp pool SWAUsers
network 10.1.10.0 255.255.255.0
default-router 10.1.10.1
end
wr!
PC1 assign ip from DHCP
show
ip dhcp
ping 8.8.8.8
2. DNS server on CiscoCSR1000v router
Now we will enable and configure DNS server on R1 router. For domain name we will use fullstackquest.local with IP 10.1.100.253
Configure DNS on R1
en
conf t
ip dns server
ip domain-lookup
ip domain name fullstackquest.local
ip host fullstackquest.local 10.1.100.253
end
ping fullstackquest.local
ping yahoo.com
wr!
Configure DNS on PC1
ip dns 10.1.100.253
ping google.com
That’s all for today’s DNS server and DHCP setup. If you have ideas on how to improve this topology or what information should I add, leave a comment below
Thanks. I hope it will help you to progress your skills.
