Can't Disable DHCP on Cisco 1700

KidneyPi · 03-18-2008, 08:59 AM

I'm trying to switch from using the Cisco 1700's built in DHCP server to using dhcpd on Linux. The router will not allow me to disable DHCP. Searching the web, I find that the command "no service dhcp" should do the job, but it doesn't work. When I type "en" followed by "no ?" I get:

no ?
debug Disable debugging functions (see also 'undebug')

It allow anything useful to be done with no. Without "en" it doesn't allow anything with "no." How can I disable DHCP?

Make sure to disable DHCP from within Global Configuration Mode (ie. Router(config)#) and no other mode.
