This is a short lab to demonstrate how to set up DHCP and NAT on a Cisco router. We will again use
GNS3 as the virtual environment to configure. If you dont know what DHCP or NAT are please visit the
following links. This lab also utilizes a very simple access control list. You do not need to be an expert
on ACLs in order to complete this lab. However, a link is provided to give you some info on ACLs with
respect to Cisco equipment.

You should now be able to ping the gateway from each client. Do this to ensure the DHCP is functioning
properly. We still are unable to ping the external router at this point.
We are still not done. We have enabled a NAT access to only computers in access control list 1. So lets
quickly define what should be permitted in this list.
en
conf t
access-list 1 permit 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255
Turn In
As always turn in a zip file with all router configs and the GNS3 file. Also include the following:
1) A wireshark capture of the external interface showing that internal pings are showing the
Gateway IP address as the sender.
