question about DHCP and exclusion range and reservations


Recommended Posts

Posted

I am studying for my MCSE and I came across a practice question that is

coming up with mixed results.

 

Q: You set up a reservation for a file server of 192.168.1.105

 

You setup a DHCP scope for all servers of 192.168.1.100-192.168.1.120

 

You also configure an exclusion range of 192.168.1.103-192.168.1.106

 

The file server is not recieving its IP address. Is the problem the

exclusion range which includes the 105 IP in the reservation? One source says

yes, but another source says no, and something from Microsoft seems to

indicate no

3rd bullet point at bottom)......However that does seem to be the problem....

 

Can anyone elaborate?

RE: question about DHCP and exclusion range and reservations

 

Hi,

 

Your practise should work: the reservation overrules the exception.

If your server does not receive an address, you might want to check the MAC

address (typo?) or the cabling. I assume other machines are receiving IP's

(ie: you tested the functionality of the DHCP server)?

 

Kind regards,

Michel

so basically reservations OVERRIDE exclusions?

RE: question about DHCP and exclusion range and reservations

 

There is a corollary:

 

"Reservations in a scope must be defined on all the scope's DHCP servers to

be 100% effective"

 

This is not made clear by existing literature.
