Setting dynamic IP on 2600 router

GT-Rob

Hi there


So I am setting up a new router here, 2611 to be exact running 12.2


It has 2 eth ports,
eth0/1 will be internal with a static IP of 192.168.0.1.
eth0/0 will be external to connect to another network which eventually connects to the internet. This subnet is 10.x.x.x. I need this to be dynamic though. Meaning I need it to be assigned the IP but the DHCP on the 10.x network.

My question is, how do I set and ethernet port's IP address to dynamic? (ie get from the DHCP).


thanks for any help!

ip address dhcp

That is what one would assume

But it doesn't seem to be a valid command for me. When I type IP address ?, it only asks for an static IP (a.b.c.d). Ip address DHCP says it is invalid.

Is there a global option that needs to be set somewhere first?

I am in int eth0/0 when I try to use this

What's your IOS feature set?

IOS (tm) C2600 Software (C2600-I-M), Version 12.1(26), RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1

DHCP Client support might have made it into later IP IOS versions, but you might need an IP Plus or Enterprise version back in the 12.1 days. Check the Cisco IOS Feature Navigator for the most accurate information.

Yes I was kind of thinking that. Oh well I can use a static IP address it just would have been easier long run to use the network's DHCP server.


Thanks for the help Mike
