ICTNWK506 Lab Guide: Introduction and Lab 1 DHCP Introduction To successfully complete the labs, you need to master two sets of skills (1) working with the Cisco Packet Tracer; and (2) working with the Cisco IOS command line interface (CLI) The Cisco Packet Tracer (CPT) is a network simulation tool that allows students to create complex networks involving components such as routers, switches and computers. You can use the CPT in the VIT labs, or download a copy from the net. The Cisco IOS CLI is used to configure individual elements (such as routers and switches) in the networks you create with the CPT. To get started with the CPT, you can use the tutorials that are built into the software (can be accessed via the Help/Tutorials option). Another good way is to look at the YouTube videos that are available e.g. "Packet Tracer for Beginners – Part 1" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wz8qI_nBK4&index=5&list=PL33E07ECCA73C0755 To get started with the Cisco CLI, you can also view YouTube videos, such as: "Cisco IOS for Beginners – Part 1" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=- zvihHxrfzM&index=7&list=PL33E07ECCA73C0755 You should also consult the Cisco documentation e.g. http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/ios/fundamentals/configuration/guide/15_1s/cf_15_1s_book/c f_cli-basics.pdf Lab 1. DHCP Lab overview. In this lab we will configure a DHCP service on a router, and have it give out an IP address to a client. Lab preparation. Review the YouTube video "DHCP Services on a Router for the Cisco CCNA - Part 1" Review the Cisco documentation "Configuring the Cisco IOS DHCP Server" http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/ios-xml/ios/ipaddr_dhcp/configuration/12- 4t/dhcp-12- 4t- book/config-dhcp- server.html Instructions 1. Configure the router port with the static IP address 192.168.1.20 2. Create an address pool called S123456 (where S123456 is your student id) of IP addresses in the range from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.100. (subnet mask 255.255.255.0) 3. Exclude the address range 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.20. Also exclude the address 192.168.1.22 4. Set DNS server to 192.168.10 5. Go into the client PC device to verify that the client has picked up the correct IP settings from the DHCP server you just configured on the router. 6. Save your work as Lab1.PKT
