Regarding having 2 dhcp pools on an 1841 router:

By the way, The 1841 can do vlan on switching ports with, for example, the HWIC-4ESW, a module that provides

4 FastEthernet switchports.

But i do think that is what yiou want. Let me know if I am wrong, but I think you have switches off the

FastEthernet 0/0  and FastEthernet 0/1 router ports and you want those host to get ip address, etc from your

router so that you do not have to have windows servers maintain the dhcp database.

This is very possible and the config info is below. I guessed at the masks, just change those to match your

real numbers, etc.

You need to do add dhcp for 2 networks, so you need to create an address pool for each network.

steps:
______

Define the address pool name..........<cmd= ip dhcp pool thepoolname>
Define the scope......................<cmd= network network-number [mask | /prefex]>
define the default router or gateway..<cmd= default-router  address [address2.....address8]>

optional steps:
_______________

define a dns server....................<cmd=dns-server  address [address2.....address8]>
define the domain name.................<cmd= domain-name the domainname>
define the duration of the dhcp lease..<cmd= lease {days [hours] [minutes] | infinite>
define a NetBios Wins server...........<cmd= netbios-nameserver address [address2.....address8]>



here are the commands with explanations, assuming you have the interfaces up.
_____________________________________________________________________________

! Remark: fastEthenet0/1 side of the 1841 with an IP of 192.168.203.1
!
! Remark: exclude  some addresses at the start of the scope
ip dhcp excluded-address 192.168.203.1 192.168.203.9
! Remark: exclude and address elsewhere in the scope
ip dhcp excluded-address 192.168.203.254
! Remark: set up a pool name that will represent the range
ip dhcp pool LAN-POOL-1
! Remark: set the pool scope or range, note all 255 except the excluded
network 192.168.203.0 255.255.255.0
! Remark: define the default gateway for the clients
default-router 192.168.203.1
! Remark: configure the IP address of the DNS server that is available to a DHCP client
dns-server 192.168.203.1
! Remark: set domain name for the clients
domain-name theDomainName.com



! Remark: FastEthernet0/0 side of the 1841 with an IP of 38.184.220.65
!
ip dhcp excluded-address 38.184.220.1 38.184.220.9

other commands:
________________

service dhcp.............. on by default, but just in case, this turns it on dhcp

To verify the operation of DHCP, use the show ip dhcp binding command. This command displays a list of all

IP address to MAC address bindings that have been provided by the DHCP service.

To verify that messages are being received or sent by the router, use the show ip dhcp server statistics

command. This command displays count information regarding the number of DHCP messages that have been sent

and received.

Another useful command to view multiple pools is the show ip dhcp pool command.

To configure router the router as a DHCP relay agent, you need to configure the nearest interface to the

client with the ip helper-address interface configuration command. This command relays broadcast requests

for key services to a configured address. Configure the IP helper address on the interface receiving the

broadcast. Allowing computers to access servers on other networks to get things like dhcp setting.

Cisco routers can also be configured as a DHCP server using SDM (A Management GUI).

here is the result from the sh up dhcp binding command on my simulation:
________________________________________________________________________

Router#sh ip dhcp binding
IP address       Client-ID/              Lease expiration        Type
                 Hardware address
38.184.220.10    0007.ECC9.2D13           --                     Automatic

Good luck.

that looks good but fe0/0  will not get a dchp that one is connected to my local network, so basic what im trying to do is  make the 192 side like a dmz

Are you saying that both networks,

fe0/1 side of the 1841 a IP of 192.168.203.1 with dhcp and the and the fe0/0 an IP of 38.184.220.65.

are not directly connected to the 1841, or that you have an access list or firewall, etc blocking some of the hosts from the router ports?

Describe the physical set up, type of hardware, and ports and I can give detailed configs as well as test most configs in my simulator.

I have decided to use cisco 1841 for the vlan, so my set up is I have one cisco router on the 38.184.220.0 subnet and another router on the 10.0.201.0 subnet with the clients on the 10.0.201.0 sub grabing dhcp from one domain controler, is this the best setup
