Click on Next to skip the welcome screen so that the Scope Name dialog is displayed:. Enter a suitable name and description for the scope and press Next to proceed to the IP Address Range screen.
In this screen, enter the start and end addresses of the IP address scope followed by the subnet mask, either in terms of bit length or in IP format for example Note that when the start and end addresses are entered the subnet mask fields are filled in automatically, but may be changed manually if required:.
If the address range specified encompasses multiple subnets for example Assuming that all addresses in the scope range are on the same subnet, the wizard will provide the option to specify exclusions within the scope.
Exclusions are essentially ranges of one or more IP addresses within the defined scope which are not available for assignment to clients. Multiple exclusion ranges may be defined within a single scope by using the Add button to add new ranges:. Lease duration refers to the amount of time an IP address is assigned to a particular client computer or device.
If the subnet on which the DHCP server operates has a high turnover of clients then a short lease is recommended since the server will end up holding IP addresses for clients which are no longer connected, potentially exhausting the pool of IP addresses. For subnets where the connected clients are fairly stable, longer leases might be more appropriate. To define a lease duration use the spin boxes provided, specifying the duration in units of days, hours and even minutes the default is 8 days :.
If the yes option is selected, the wizard will present a series of screens where these options may be specified if required. On each screen enter the appropriate information, or leave the page blank if the option is required for example not all configurations require a WINS server.
If "no" is selected the wizard will skip to the Activate Scope screen where, as the name suggests, the new scope may be activated. Once activated the wizard may be closed. The new scope is now defined and active. For Linux systems the corresponding command is ifconfig -a. Once the MAC address has been identified, the reservation may be configured using either the DHCP console or at the command prompt using the netsh tool.
Failure to do this will result in a warning dialog stating that the Unique identifier you have entered may not be correct. If your network has multiple DNS servers, you can add the list of servers address here. Once all settings are done click next. Once this scope is activated, client can then obtain the IP from the specified lease range. On new reservations window, enter a reservations name, IP address to assign to that client, MAC address and a brief description.
Select DHCP from supported type. Share on Facebook. Related Articles. Microsoft All set to show off its next Surface Pro By. If you only want to install DHCP server with no configured scopes or settings, you can just click Next through these questions and proceed with the installation. On the other hand, you can optionally configure your DHCP Server during this part of the installation. Figure 3: Network connection binding.
Figure 4: Entering domain and DNS information. I have opted to configure an IP address range of To do this, I clicked Add to add a new scope. Figure 6: Confirm Installation Selections. Thus, this is a good place to go to check the status of the DHCP Server and what events have happened around it.
If I go into the address pool and the scope options, I can see that the configuration we made when we installed the DHCP Server did, indeed, work. So how do we know that this really works if we do not test it?
The answer is that we do not. To be safe, I have no other devices on this network segment.
