[afnog] DHCP configuration on cisco router 2600 series

[Jim Forster]

I think the issue is that you're issuing the "ip dhcp pool" command  
while in config-interface mode.   The pools are not directly  
connected to inferfaces, but rather when dhcp request come in on an  
interface the appropriate pool is then utilized.


It's more like this:

ip dhcp pool nonCiscoClients
    network 10.0.1.0 255.255.255.0
    default-router 10.0.1.1
    dns-server 206.13.31.12 206.13.28.12
    domain-name sbcglobal.net
!
interface FastEthernet0
ip address 10.0.1.1 255.255.255.0


My actual config at home is more complicated, as I allocate IP's from  
different subnets depending on the Mac address (not a particularly  
elegant solution, but for a small scale net that doesn't change  
often, it's easy).

ip dhcp pool nonCiscoClients
    import all
    network 10.0.1.0 255.255.255.0
    default-router 10.0.1.1
    dns-server 206.13.31.12 206.13.28.12
    domain-name sbcglobal.net
!
ip dhcp pool JimsAP
    host 10.0.1.6 255.255.255.0
    client-identifier 0100.4096.41bd.73
!
...
interface FastEthernet0
description inside interface
ip address 10.0.1.1 255.255.255.0 secondary
ip address 10.32.245.241 255.255.255.240
