DHCP Scope

[Gis Bun]

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

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.

It ain't that bad.

You will find that often doing things "correctly" also ends up being
*simpler*,...not to mention cleaner and easier to deal with.

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.
