Guest Gis Bun Posted September 3, 2008 Posted September 3, 2008 Hi. We have a single scope. The scope contains 7 segments of our network. 99% of our systems are using reserved addresses. What we want to do is to split the scope in two. 2 of the 7 segments will be on one scope with one gateway assigned and the others are on a second scope with a second gateway define. Is there a simple way or does the scope have to be wiped and the 2 scopes created from scratch? Moving/importing the reservations? Thanks
Guest Phillip Windell Posted September 3, 2008 Posted September 3, 2008 Re: DHCP Scope 1 Segment = 1 Scope 7 Segments = 7 Scopes 1 IP Segment (I don't mean ranges) per Scope No SuperScopes. Gateways are unique to each IP Segment they are associated with. Router(s) between the IP Segments must be set to forward DHCP Queries to the DHCP Server. -- Phillip Windell http://www.wandtv.com The views expressed, are my own and not those of my employer, or Microsoft, or anyone else associated with me, including my cats. ----------------------------------------------------- "Gis Bun" <GisBun@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:8FD1238E-3A7D-4644-996E-7C1A4F9B863D@microsoft.com... > Hi.

It is often the "wrong way" that is messy, cluttered, and a nightmare to manage. Although it doesn't apply in every situation,..my general philosophy is that if it is excessively complicated,...it is probably being done wrong. -- Phillip Windell http://www.wandtv.com The views expressed, are my own and not those of my employer, or Microsoft, or anyone else associated with me, including my cats. -----------------------------------------------------
