Experiment: Configure DHCP in Packet Tracer For Internetworking

The document describes an experiment to configure DHCP in Cisco Packet Tracer. The student's goal is to understand how to configure a DHCP server to dynamically assign IP addresses. The procedure involves creating a local area network with PCs, switches, and routers in Packet Tracer, then configuring one router as the DHCP server to assign addresses from an address pool to client devices on two connected LANs. The student concludes the DHCP server consists of server, clients, an address pool, and subnets, and that DHCP provides benefits like accurate addressing, reduced conflicts, and automatic configuration.

Experiment: Configure DHCP in packet tracer for internetworking

Aim: To configure server for DHCP.

Learning objectives:
1. To understand distribution of dynamic IP address

Outcomes: After completion of the experiment, students’ will be able –


1. understand the configuration of DHCP Protocol

Software used: Cisco Packet Tracer

Theory:

DHCP is a network management tool that works with both the Transmission
Control Protocol (TCP) and Internet Protocol (IP) - the two primary suites of
internet protocols used to connect devices to each other and to the network
on the internet. They form the TCP/IP protocol.

A DHCP server is used to issue unique IP addresses and automatically


configure other network information. In most homes and small businesses,
the router acts as the DHCP server. In large networks, a single computer
might act as the DHCP server.

In short, the process goes like this: A device (the client) requests an IP
address from a router (the host), after which the host assigns an available IP
address to allow the client to communicate on the network. A bit more detail
below. Once a device is turned on and connected to a network that has a
DHCP server, it will send a request to the server, called a DHCP DISCOVER
request.

After the DISCOVER packet reaches the DHCP server, the server attempts to
hold on to an IP address that the device can use, and then offers the client
the address with a DHCPOFFER packet. Once the offer has been made for
the chosen IP address, the device responds to the DHCP server with a
DHCPREQUEST packet to accept it, after which the server sends an ACK
that's used to confirm that the device has that specific IP address and to
define the amount of time that the device can use the address before getting
a new one. If the server decides that the device cannot have the IP address,
it will send a NACK.

Procedure

Steps to create a Local Area Network that will contain n number of PCs, a
switch, and a router is illustrated below:

1. Follow the below steps to add PCs in Cisco Packet Tracer:


⮚ In the Cisco Packet Tracer console, click on the PC icon, click Generic,
and then click in the logical view area to add a Generic PC.
⮚ Repeat the same step to add three more Generic PCs in the logical
view area, as shown in the following figure.

2. Follow the below steps to add Switches in Cisco Packet Tracer


⮚ To add a switch in Cisco Packet Tracer, click the Switch icon, select a
switch type, such as 2960, and then add the selected switch in the
logical view area.
⮚ Repeat the same step to add one more switch.

3. Follow the below steps to add Router in Cisco Packet Tracer


⮚ To add a router in Cisco Packet Tracer, click the Router icon, select a
router type, such as 2811, and then add the selected router in the
logical view area.
⮚ Repeat the same step to add one more router

4. Understanding Connection Types in Cisco Packet Tracer


⮚ Straight-through: Used to connect different types of devices (devices
that use different wiring standards), such as Router-to-Switch and
Switch-PC
⮚ Cross-over: Used to connect same types of devices, such as router to
router, PC-to-PC, and switch-to-switch.
⮚ Serial DCE: Used to connect router-to-router in a WAN network.

5. Connecting Devices in Cisco Packet Tracer


⮚ To connect devices in Cisco Packet Tracer, click the connection type
icon, and select an appropriate cable. For example, to connect PC0 to
Switch0, select the straight-through cable, click on PC0, and select the
FastEthernet0 interface.

6. As shown in the screenshot below 2 LAN’s are created

7. After having done with the connections we go the Command Line and
configure the network for DHCP.
Conclusion:

From working on this experiment we came to know that:-


The DHCP consists of the following components:-
1. DHCP server
2. DHCP Client
3. IP Address Pool
4. Subnets
The benefits of using the DHCP are:-
1. Accurate IP address
2. We can connect the different router with the serial DCE
3. Reduced IP address conflict
4. Automatic IP address configuration

The Screen shot of the simulated connections are:-
