Chapter 8 Configuration of network services

Example
In 192.168.1.0 subnet you intend to create two scopes: from 192.168.1.10
to 192.168.1.49 and from 192.168.1.61 to 192.168.1.100. Addresses from
192.168.1.50 to 192.168.1.60 will be left free and can be used for other purposes.
Create the scope from 192.168.1.10 to 192.168.1.100 and click on the Exclusions but-
ton to define the scope from 192.168.1.50 to 192.168.1.60. These addresses will not
be assigned by the DHCP server.
Figure8.8 DHCPserver — IP scopes exceptions
Parameters
In the Address Scope dialog, basic DHCP parameters of the addresses assigned to clients
can be defined:
•Default Gateway — IP address of the router that will be used as the default gate-
way for the subnet from which IP addresses are assigned. IP address of the
interface the network is connected to. Default gateway of another network would
be useless (not available to clients).
•DNS server — any DNS server (or more DNS servers separated with semicolons).
Werecommend you to use the WinRoute’s DNS module as the primary server (first
in the list) — IP address of the WinRoute host. The DNS module can cooperate
with DHCP server (see chapter 8.1) so that it will always use correct IP addresses
to response to requests on local host names.
•WINS server
•Domain — local Internet domain. Do not specify this parameter if there is no
local domain.
Warning
This parameter is not used for specification of the name of Windows NT domain!
Advanced
Click on this button to open a dialog with a complete list of advanced parameters sup-
ported by DHCP (including the four mentioned above). Any parameter supported by
DHCP can be added and its value can be set within this dialog. This dialog is also a part
of the Address Scopes tab.
