How to configure DHCP Server on a switch for different VLANs?

Image
By Edgar C Francis Internetworks

 

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) servers provide all the basic information the client wants to operate on the network, including DNS address, Default Gateway, IP addresses, subnet masks, and many more in detail.

In this lab, we have one switch and 16 PCs. Our task is to assign all the PCs to their VLANs and configure the DHCP server for all VLANs. Ultimately, ensure all the PCs get their IP addresses from the DHCP server. 



  • configure the topology as per the diagram
  • configure VLAN 10,20,30, and 40
  • assign ports to their VLANs 
  • configure IP addresses for VLANs 
  • VLAN 10 192.168.1.1/24
  • VLAN 20 192.168.2.1/24
  • VLAN 30 192.168.3.1/24
  • VLAN 40 192.168.4.1/24
  • configure DHCP server for all VLANs
  • ensure that all PCs get IPs
  • verify with show commands
  • configure IP routing command

What is Classification and marking? What is IP Precedence and DSCP Values? What is AF and EF?

By Edgar C Francis Internetworks
  Classification and Marking Classification and marking are the processes of identifying the priority of each packet. This is the first step of QOS control and should be done near the source hosts. Classification is the process of identifying and categorising traffic into classes, typically based upon incoming interface IP precedence, DSCP Source or Destination address. Application classification is the most fundamental QOS building block. Without classification, all packets are treated the same.   The table lists the criteria of classification                                  Marking  Marking is the QOS feature component that colours a packet so it can be identified and distinguished from other packets in QOS treatment. Commonly used markers: link-layer: COS (ISL, 802.1q), MPLS EXP bits,...

OSPF default routing

By Edgar C Francis Internetworks
  OSPF Default Route Configuring OSPF Default route is not a big problem. We have couple of options when we want to OSPF default route. Here is an example R1(config)#router ospf 1  R1(config-router)#default-information originate ?   always       Always advertise default route   metric       OSPF default metric   metric-type  OSPF metric type for default routes   route-map    Route-map reference   <cr> We can change numbers of things for example metric or metric type but most of the people forget about the most important thing is the always keyword.  If we add the always command this feature advertises the default route even if we do not have in our routing table. It will look like that route is installed in routing table.   When we use the default information originate we can advertise a default route in OSPF. But OSPF won’t...

BGP Local preference configuration

By Edgar C Francis Internetworks
BGP Local preference (Local_Pref) Path attribute gives the router inside a single autonomous system a value that they can set per-route and advertise to all iBGP routers inside the autonomous system, so that all routers in the autonomous system agree about which routers is the best exit point for packet destined for that prefix. Local preference (Local_Pref) is the second BGP attribute. We can use the local preference to choose the outbound external BGP path. Local preference is sent to all internal BGP (iBGP) routers in our autonomous system. Local preference (Local_Pref) is not exchanged between external BGP routers. It’s a well-known and discretionary BGP attribute. Default value is 100. The path with the highest local preference is desirable  Topology:- TASK: To reach 50.1.1.1, 15.0.0.1 network router 2 and router 3 using 3.1.1.2 path ( AS 65144) because it has less numbers of au...
