Define DHCP as the Global Default Mechanism

The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) specifies these
components:

z

A DHCP server. A host-based DHCP server configured to accept
and process requests for temporary IP addresses.

z

A DHCP proxy-client. An access server configured to arbitrate
DHCP calls between the DHCP server and the DHCP client. Th
DHCP client-proxy feature manages a pool of IP addresses avail-
able to dial-in clients without a known IP address.

In global configuration mode, enable DHCP as the global default
mechanism:

1.

Specify DHCP client-proxy as the global default mechanism.

ip address-pool dhcp-proxy-client

2.

(Optional) Specify the IP address of a DHCP server for the proxy
client to use.

ip dhcp-server [

ip-address

|

name

]

You can provide up to ten DHCP servers for the proxy-client (the
router or access server) to use. DHCP servers provide temporary IP ad-
dresses.

Define Local Address Pooling as the Global Default Mechanism

In global configuration mode, define local pooling as the global de-
fault mechanism:

1.

Specify local pooling as the global default mechanism.

ip address-pool local

2.

Create one or more local IP address pools.

ip local pool {default |

poolname

}

low-ip-

address

[

high-ip-address

]

If no other pool is defined, the local pool called default is used.
