DHCP configuration example without DHCP relay agent
Network requirements
The DHCP server (Router A) assigns IP addresses to clients on subnet 10.1.1.0/24, which is
subnetted into 10.1.1.0/25 and 10.1.1.128/25.
The IP addresses of Ethernet 0/1 and Ethernet 0/2 on Router A are 10.1.1.1/25 and 10.1.1.129/25
respectively.
In subnet 10.1.1.0/25, the lease is ten days and twelve hours, the domain name suffix is aabbcc.com,
the DNS server address is 10.1.1.2/25, and the gateway address is 10.1.1.126/25.
In subnet 10.1.1.128/25, the lease is five days, the domain name suffix is aabbcc.com, the DNS
server address is 10.1.1.2/25, and the gateway address is 10.1.1.254/25.
Subnets 10.1.1.0/25 and 10.1.1.128/25 have the same domain name suffix and DNS server address.
Therefore, the domain name suffix and DNS server address must be configured only for subnet
10.1.1.0/24. Subnet 10.1.1.0/25 and 10.1.1.128/25 can inherit the configuration of subnet
10.1.1.0/24.
Router B (DHCP client) obtains a static IP address, DNS server address, and gateway address from
Router A (DHCP server).
