Configuring The Cisco Ios Dhcp Server - Cisco Catalyst 4500 Series Software Configuration Manual

Configuring the Cisco IOS DHCP Server

Cisco devices running Cisco software include Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server and
the relay agent software. The Cisco IOS DHCP server is a full DHCP server implementation that assigns
and manages IP addresses from specified address pools within the device to DHCP clients. The DHCP
server can be configured to assign additional parameters such as the IP address of the Domain Name
System (DNS) server and the default device.
This module describes the concepts and the tasks needed to configure the Cisco IOS DHCP server.
