Re: Adding a DHCP Scope to Windows 2003 Server

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Hi there --

To set up a second scope, all you do is open the DHCP console, then right-
click the DHCP server and click New Scope.

The New Scope wizard launches, and you should configure it with these
values:

IP address range: 192.168.2.1 through 192.168.2.254
Exclusion range: 192.168.2.1 through 192.168.2.10

The exclusion range means that the DHCP server will not lease these
addresses to clients, which frees them up in case you need to
statically/manually configure something with an IP address. For example,
the AdTran equipment has a static IP address (I am just guessing that they
used the IP 192.168.2.1, but you should check on and verify this, as you
will be typing this address into the New Scope wizard as the Default
Gateway setting).

Also while running the wizard you should type in the IP addresses of your
DNS and WINS servers -- so find these out before you run the wizard. Also
type in your domain name when the wizard prompts you, such as (for example)
"microsoft.com" (without the quotation marks).

For the Default Gateway setting, use the AdTran's IP (as mentioned above)
that leads to the rest of the network so that clients on the new subnet can
communicate with the old subnet.

We just had to install some AdTran NetVanta's to our network to bridge
to a remote location.

Once I did the install of the AdTran equipment, they told me I needed
to add another ip scope to our DHCP server. The DHCP is running off
the Windows 2003 server.

The current range is 192.168.1.0. I need to add 192.168.2.0 for the
remote side. The AdTran tech support tells me it cannot have the same
range as the host side because the NetVanta would not know where to
send the packets.

Can someone help me set up a second scope for DHCP on the server?
