The name of the pool is mynetwork1 which can be anything and it contains addresses from 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.254, the default gateway will be 192.168.0.1, DNS servers are 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 you can add more IP addresses by dividing them with spaces. On a Cisco router use the following commands to create a pool of IP addresses with a default gateway, DNS server and lease time. When configuring DHCP reservation it should be done differently for Windows DHCP clients and Linux DHCP clients because both of them make DHCP requests differently. IP address exclusion prevents conflicts among devices i certain hosts are manually assigned IP addresses. A DHCP server dynamically assigns IP addresses to hosts in a network, by creating DHCP reservations we can statically assign an IP address to a host based on its MAC address. A tutorial describing how to configure a Cisco router as a DHCP server, I’ll cover DHCP reservation and excluding of IP addresses as well.
