Change the DHCP range on a Cisco 831 router

by nickinoshkosh . Updated 13 years, 10 months ago

So I’m the new Network Admin at my very small company and I’m taking over some really old equipment. At one of our locations, there is a Cisco 831 router that someone has programmed as 192.168.2.1 and then set the DHCP server to hand out IP addresses in the range 192.168.2.2 – 254. That same someone then went ahead and assigned static IP addresses to printers and a few workstations in the building. Obviously this has been causing me headaches!

I’m fresh out of college here and I never learned how to program these old Cisco routers. I’d like to change the router to hand out DHCP in the range of 192.168.2.100 – 199 so that I’ve got some wiggle room for static IP addresses. Can anyone help me out? What commands do I need to use to keep all other settings on the router the same and just change up the DHCP address pool?

Thanks!
