Configuring IOS DHCP Clients

Lab Objective:

The objective of this lab exercise is for you to learn and understand how to Cisco IOS DHCP Clients.

Configuring the Cisco IOS DHCP client feature is a fundamental skill. DHCP provides dynamic addressing information to hosts on a network. Typically, physical DHCP servers (such as Microsoft Windows servers) are used to provide addressing information to DHCP clients (which are devices that request configuration via DHCP). In most cases, DHCP clients are typically computers and other such devices, however, it is also possible to configure Cisco IOS devices to act as DHCP clients and automatically receive configuration information from a DHCP server. As a Cisco engineer, as well as in the Cisco CCNA exam, you will be expected to know how to configure the Cisco IOS DHCP client feature.
