5. Once the Create Scope (Local) window opens (see below), you will be required to
input a range of IP addresses in the IP Address Pool .
There is also an Exclusion Range used to prevent the DHCP server from issuing
addresses to existing devices that have already been assigned IP addresses from this
range. By using the
Add and Remove buttons, several different ranges can be excluded,
and later included.
6. Another item that must be attended to is the Subnet Mask . This is a number that is
combined with a device’s IP address to determine which subnet the device belongs to.
For a Class C address you should input 255.255.255.0, and for Class B addresses use
255.255.0.0.
7. Make sure the Unlimited option under Lease Duration is checked. This prevents the
system from automatically disconnecting devices that are using IP addresses in the
specified range.
8. Assign a name to the scope, and if you would like, include a comment. Click OK to
accept the values.
