Configuration Example
Cisco 1710 Security Router Software Configuration Guide

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is used to enable hosts
(DHCP clients) on an IP network to obtain their configurations from a server
(DHCP server). This reduces the work necessary to administer an IP network. The
most significant configuration option the client receives from the server is its IP
address.
Perform the following tasks to configure DHCP. Begin in global configuration
mode.
In the following example, three DHCP address pools are created: one in network
172.16.0.0, one in subnetwork 172.16.1.0, and one in subnetwork 172.16.2.0.
Attributes from network 172.16.0.0, such as the domain name, DNS server,
NetBIOS name server, and NetBIOS node type, are inherited in subnetworks
