DHCP to Routers Interface 1

[thekidcisco]

Q) How do I configure my Cisco-803 to receive it's IP from a DHCP server? There is only one active interface and that is E0 (ethernet 0).

This is what I have done thus far-

!
no ip subnet-zero
ip dhcp relay information policy keep
!
ip dhcp pool cable
network x.0.0.0 x.0.0.0
default-router x.x.x.x
dns-server x.x.x.x x.x.x.x x.x.x.x
domain-name my.isp.net.au
lease infinite
!
no ip finger
!
!
!
interface Ethernet0
no ip address
ip helper-address x.x.x.x
!

Q) What a I missing? Is there anything stupid I'm not looking into? I see the ethernet0 counters increase so it's receiving some sort of broadcast stuff, yet there is not DHCP address given to E0 !!! Please help!!!

E0 will not get a DHCP address. It must be a static IP address.

How wrong you are wybnormal, do some research before giving others advise to your inadequate conclusions...

You need minimum 12.1(2)T, the T train provides the specific feature the command is (from CCO):

Router(config-if)# ip address dhcp

Specifies that the Ethernet interface acquires an IP address through DHCP.

Next time save your breath.

the Cisco kid should no shoot others for trying to help. This is a new feature and I am sure there are some that you are not aware of TOO!!!

Hibit- sounds more like a setup from someone who learned one small piece that is new and wanted to brag some.

Cisco - congrats on finding a useful feature in the new IOS. dig back through the threads a few days since someone else was asking the same question and at that time nobody had this answer. It's you chance of being the "hero"

Not the first time I've made a mistake.. and it wont be the last. The good news is having someone like you pointing it out to me really doesnt bother me as I consider the source ;-)
