DHCP Server Configuration Tutorial With Multiple Switches using CISCO Packet Tracer

Learn how to configure a DHCP server with multiple switches in CISCO Packet Tracer in this step-by-step tutorial. We will walk you through setting up the DHCP server, configuring multiple switches, and ensuring seamless IP address distribution across your network. This tutorial is perfect for anyone looking to manage a more complex network setup using CISCO Packet Tracer.

The text steps -

set DHCP server first -
set static 192.168.10.2 (the default gateway for switch 1)
services DHCP -
pool name - SwitchONE
default gateway - 192.168.10.1
start IP - 192.168.10.3
maximum number 20

repeat for second switch
second one can start 2.2 as it has no server

now configure router -
conf t
int g0/0
ip address 192.168.10.1 255.255.255.0
ip helper-address 192.168.10.2 ( the server address)
no shutdown
do write memory
exit

conf t
int g0/1
ip address 192.168.20.1 255.255.255.0
ip helper-address 192.168.10.2 ( the server address)
no shutdown
do write memory
exit

Was troubleshooting for 1 hour, cound't find a solution. I just forgot to put the defalut gateway to the DHCP server. What a dumbass i am. Thank you for the help!

Your video is not working. First. How does the CLI know the "g0/0" parameter. It is not assigned anywhere. It tells me that such a parameter does not exist. Second. The second Switch only sees the Server but does not see the computers. I did everything step by step according to your video :)

Can you make a video by using a multilayer switch instead of a router in this video, and with those 2 switches, put another switch as the 3rd and enable all 3 as separate vlans with 1 DHCP server. please

Thanks so much for this video, can you explain why pinging a switch 2 device from switch 1 failed?

[satyamanikanta]

I couldn’t ping pc’s connected to right side switch with the pc’s connected to the left side switch. Can anyone out there help me with the problem i am facing? Also I don’t want to use any l3 switch I just want to get this fixed with out interfering with the same layout used in video 🙂
