Why?

The topology shows a router which will be a dhcp server, a switch for the hosts, 2 PCs, 2 servers (one as a web server which will contain and deliver website content to the PCs; the other as a local dns server which will resolve domain names to IP addresses for devices with in the network)

Activities Done

• Configured ip address for Router0 and it as a dhcp server.

• The switch communicates with vlan interface regarding dhcp so I had to configure the interface vlan 1
