Re: DHCP Issues

Phillip,

Thanks for the response, I want to clarify the third question. We
understand that we should not have more hosts on the network than IP
addresses. We have designed the DHCP scopes to address this, however, from
a theoretical perspective what would occur. Would the client obtain an IP
address form another scope?

Thanks

Rustom
