need help with cisco router and dhcp

Hey,

I've been configuring my new Cisco 871w Integrated Services router on my home network, but I haven't been able to get DHCP working on the LAN ports. This is what I have done

Router(config)# ip dhcp excluded-address 192.168.2.1 192.168.2.10
Router(config)# ip dhcp pool home
Router(config-dhcp)#network 192.168.2.0 255.255.255.0
Router(config-dhcp)#dns-server 192.168.2.1 4.2.2.2
Router(config-dhcp)#default-router 192.168.2.1

on all interfaces fa0 - fa3
#switchport mode access
#switchport access vlan 1

I have enabled service dhcp

I can ping vlan 1 192.168.2.1
I can ping my default route 192.168.1.1 (home router)
I can ping www.cisco.com

I have wr erase twice to do everything all over again, but I have not been successful

this is my config

R1#sh run

I followed this instructions from the Cisco website, for my IOS version "flash:c870-advsecurityk9-mz.124-4.T3.bin"

I can have DHCP working on GNS3 and Packet Tracer with no problems...I'm not sure what's wrong.

thanks in advance!!

So what doesn't work?

Are the hosts not getting an IP address?

Have you manually assigned an IP address to a host and tried to ping the 2.1 address?

Michael Ortega

I'm not sure what the question is? Is the problem just that you're not getting an IP addressed automatically through DHCP from the router?

yes..the problem is that I'm not getting an IP address automatically from DHCP

I don't want to set it manually

Is there anything else running DHCP on the same network? Can you connect your client system to any other port (0 - 3) and get an address through DHCP?

umm...i'm not sure what you are asking, but to try an answer your question

dhcp is the verizon modem with the ip 192.168.1.1
i have Fa4 (WAN) port on the cisco 871 router plugged to the verizon modem

I get 192.168.1.2 on my Cisco routers WAN port Fa4

vlan 1 is configured with 192.168.2.1

I can ping vlan 1, the verizon modem, and www.cisco.com from my cisco router

any client connected to the cisco router will not get an ip address from DHCP (which is what I am trying to do here).

Remove the vlan IP address and place it on a physical interface.

I.E.

interface FastEthernet2
ip address 192.168.2.1 255.255.255.0

valdezf

ASKER

I tried that but it says

"ip address may not be configured on L2 links"

danieldias

It is configured that way on fa 4.
Rremove the ip address and the vlan 1 interface..... then try to add the IP for fa2.

valdezf

ASKER

Fa4 is a WAN port......Fa0 - 3 are LAN ports (L2)

Don Johnston

One more time...

Have you manually assigned an IP address (192.168.2.x) to a host and tried to ping the 2.1 address?

valdezf

ASKER

ok. I just did what you told me. this is weird (maybe not)

I added the static to the client connected to Fa3 and I can ping the 192.168.2.1 network but not the 192.168.1.1

I set it to "dynamic dhcp" on the client and I do get an ip, but I don't see the ip address on the router sho ip int bri

regardless I can't ping the 192.168.1.1 from the 192.168.2.1 - but this I can probably fix myself

my question is...why is it that I can't see the clients ip 192.168.2.14 listed on the router fa3 port when I do "sho ip int bri" ???

Interface IP-Address OK? Method Status Protocol
FastEthernet0 unassigned YES unset down down
FastEthernet1 unassigned YES unset down down
FastEthernet2 unassigned YES unset up up
FastEthernet3 unassigned YES unset up up
FastEthernet4 192.168.1.2 YES manual up up
Dot11Radio0 unassigned YES TFTP administratively down down
Vlan1 192.168.2.1 YES manual up up

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Gateway of last resort is 192.168.1.1 to network 0.0.0.0

C 192.168.1.0/24 is directly connected, FastEthernet4
C 192.168.2.0/24 is directly connected, Vlan1
S* 0.0.0.0/0 [1/0] via 192.168.1.1
