This chapter covers the following topics that you need to master as a CCNP:

Cisco 700 series router key features and functions--The 700 series router relies on
profiles as psuedo interfaces for the device. These profiles take on the characteristics
of the site to which the router is being connected. The sites that are discussed in the
chapter are the remote office (RO), the small office/home office (SOHO), and the ISP.
In addition, the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) functionality of the
device is discussed.

Cisco 700 series router profiles--This section describes the use of profiles for the
configuration of a Cisco 700 series router. These profiles provide the building blocks
for the 700 series router functionality.

Configuring the 700 series router for IP routing--This section details the
commands for routing in an IP environment with the 700 series router.

Routing with the Cisco 700 series router--This section describes the 700 series
router's capabilities in a very small network. This function is generally not used
because the 700 is catagorized as an end-user device.

DHCP overview--This section describes DHCP from the perspective of a 700 series
router.

Using the 700 series router as a DHCP server and relay agent--This section
presents the 700 series router configured as a DHCP server or helper agent. The ability
to configure a 700 series router for DHCP is a necessary skill for a CCNP.
