DHCP setup on 26XX

[mr2000]

How do I set up dhcp on my router. i can show the lease and servers, but dont know how to configure. Is this normal practice to configure a dhcp rather than use the cable modem.......etc etc etc

I'm not sure I understand your question? DHCP with a cable modem? Do you mean to ask about NAT in order to share the IP? Or are trying to serve DHCP to the clients on the end of the cable modem?

im trying to investigate if ican configure the ethernet address to work with the DHCP from the cable modem to configure the ethernet port.

More out of curiosity really, as I have managed to get the ethernet talking to the outside world via the cable modem.

Thanks.

Ahhh... you want to "give" and DHCP address to the routers interface like you would a client? That wont work that I'm aware of with the 2600. There may be some "tricks" out there so I wont say it cant but I've not seen it happen. There might be a flavor of PPP that can do this.. hmmm.. good question

Cisco has a new feature to allow this to work. You go to the interface and instead of giving it a static address:

ip address 10.10.10.2 255.255.255.0

you use the command:

ip address dhcp



good luck
