How to configure DHCP Scope

How to configure Windows DHCP Scope

Start DHCP Manager from the Administration Tools.
Under DHCP Servers, select *Local Machine* or type the DHCP IP address.
In the console tree of the DHCP snap-in, the DHCP server is a red arrow in the bottom-right corner of the server object because the server has not yet been authorized. Right-click the server, and then click Authorize.
Right-click the server, and then click New Scope. In the New Scope Wizard, click Next, and then type a name and description for the scope.
Type the range of addresses that can be leased as part of this scope, for example, a starting IP address of 192.168.10.1 to an ending address of 192.168.10.254. Click Next.
Type any IP addresses that you want to exclude from the range you entered. This includes any addresses that may have already been statically assigned to various computers in your organization. Click Next.
Type the number of days, hours, and minutes before an IP address lease from this scope expires. This determines the length of time that a client can hold a leased address without renewing it. Click Next to select Yes, I want to configure these options now, and then extend the wizard to include settings for the most common DHCP options. Click Next.
Type the IP address for the default gateway that should be used by clients that obtain an IP address from this scope. Click Add to place the default gateway address into the list, and then click Next.

Click Yes, I want to activate this scope now, to activate the scope and allow clients to obtain leases from it, and then click Next. Click Finish.
