dhcp configuration between two routers

aueddonline

got this config on a router I want to act as a dhcp server for the router on the other side of the serial link.

First of all is this config OK?

second, when I use the ' ip address dhcp' on the dhcp client serial interface it isn't a recognised command?

AH, is it only availble on an ethernet interface?

aueddonline

or fast ethernet? the command works on my fast ethernet on on router, but not the standard ethernet on the other

what are the IOS Feature Sets and versions on the routers.

If it works on one and not the other, I'd guess they are running different IOS images and its a feature set issue.

aueddonline

yeah i think your right it's the IOS image, but on the router that does except the command it doesn't except it on the serial interface only the two ethernet

For the serial lines you will have th options of using SLARP or ppp negotiated addresses, not DHCP, but for the Ethernet lines you can use DHCP.
