Hi all,

I've a DHCP scope 172.16.9.1 - 172.16.10.254 and would like to mofify to 172.16.9.136 - 172.16.10.254.
How can I do it ?

Thanks and regards

Just put in an exclusion for the range 172.16.9.1-135

It just means my answers are from experience, not a book.
 
Thanks but....do I not loose the addresses from ...1 to ...135 ?

I've two DHCP servers

Server 1:
Scope 172.16.9.1 - 172.16.10.254
and would like : 172.16.9.136 - 172.16.10.254, because the

Server 2 has the Scope 172.16.9.1 - 172.16.9.135

Server 2 will still hand them out, server 1 will not. That's what exclusions are for.

OK,

A short question, is there a problem if both DHCP servers are configured with same IP range ?
 
Short answer: yes. Although I think windows will first check the IP (ping) before handing in out. So you might get away with it. Not best practice probably though.
 
You can configure the DHCP server to check if the IP address is available first. However, best practice, don't have two servers handing out the same range of IP's. You're doing the correct thing by excluding the range on the first server so that the second server can hand out those IP's.

It's was I think.
I've a lot of "BAD_Address" int the "address leases" list.
