Hey all..total noob question. I have a 3640 with four ethernet interfaces. right now i have my cable modem going into FastEthernet 0/0 and i do a show running-config and it shows the ip, but my question is this. How would i set up dhcp server on this router? i have a 1924 but i want the 3640 to do all the routing but im so lost.... Any help will be appreciated..thanks

Alex... I may be a bit pragmatic about this but these type of items are things that you should research yourself. Even though it took me three steps to look up -
1. www.cisco.com
2. In the search function, type in "DHCP Server Setup"
3. Choose the link.

It always helps to try to figure these items out instead of asking someone. Unless of course, you tried all of this and you couldnt find what you are looking for.

i wouldnt post a question unless i tried and couldnt find the solution... i was only hoping to get pointed in the right direction..not a complete set of commands i need....... isnt that what this forum is about?

If you are asking for someone to perform research for you... then excuse me. Since you stated that you were looking for help... then that list of commands is what you need.

I believe what these type of forums are for are to help others perform their own work. In this case, asking a question on how to do something should be done via research and simple mistakes. To learn something without someone telling you the specific list of commands is truly the only way someone will remember what they have learned.

If you feel that these posts were flaming you... then again excuse me but it would be ridiculous not to figure these items out yourself. Of course, you can give us a list or paste your config on what you have found out what commands you need and many of us can help or adjust your config to match what you need or want. That is the point of these forums!

Flamming is one thing this forums is NOT about.

I think QUITOXIC did the right thing to remind you (rather politely, if I might add) that sometimes you should shake some bones and do a few things yourself --it's so much better than just asking everything. That's how you learn. Go on the quest, when you hit a wall, ask questions.

Remember: when everything fails, refer to the manual

And I know alot of people have a hard time 'searching' for stuff on the forums --I included . People just love to splash the question. But hey, as long as someone's getting help, I don't see any problems.

Now will some people shake hands and move on
