Cisco 806 Router HELP!!

[Sirex]

whats up everybody?? how's everyone doing tonight?? I'm hoping someone can help me out here. I working on a Cisco Router 806 (I have very little knowledge on Cisco Routers). My question is, can I make the interface a DHCP Client?? If so, how can I do this? Thanks for your help guys!

I assume you mean the Internet(E1) ethernet connection.


interface ethernet 1
ip address dhcp
end


After entering those commands, if you do sh run the configs should have the following lines added:

!
interface Ethernet1
ip address dhcp
!


When connected, you can get the settings that the router has picked up by using sh dhcp lease
