DHCP Question

[kevin97]

Hey guys,

I have a quick noob question.

Say theres a dhcp scope of 192.168.1.0 setup. The ip range for distribution is 192.168.1.1-192.168.1.10.

Would it be possible to manually setup a static i.p of 192.168.1.5 on a pc or a printer? Will this cause problems on the network?

kevin97,

This would cause an IP conflict on your network. The correct way would be to assign it a static IP outside your scope or setup a "reservation" for it inside the scope.
