activated the wizard may be closed. The new scope is now defined and active.
== Configuring Scopes at the Command Prompt ==
DHCP scopes may also be configured from the command prompt using the netsh
tool. netsh may be run as a single command, or interactively. To run
interactively. To run in interactive mode follow these steps:
1. At the command prompt enter netsh.
2. At the netsh> prompt enter dhcp.
3. At the netsh dhcp> prompt enter server \\servername where servername is the
UNC name or IP address of the server to be managed. For example:
<pre>
netsh dhcp>server \\winserver-1
</pre>
4. At the netsh dhcp server prompt, enter the commands to be executed.
Alternatively, run each netsh command separately, using the following syntax:
'''netsh dhcp server''' ''\\servername commands''
To create a new DHCP scope the command syntax is as follows:
'''netsh dhcp server''' ''\\servername'' '''scope''' ''subnetID'' '''add
iprange''' ''startIP endIP''
For example, to create a scope on subnet 192.168.2.0 ranging from 192.168.2.1
through 192.168.2.100:
<pre>
netsh dhcp server \\winserver-1 scope 192.168.2.0 add iprange 192.168.2.1
192.168.2.100
Changed the current scope context to 192.168.2.0 scope.
Command completed successfully.
</pre>
To list a scope IP address range:
<pre>
netsh dhcp server \\winserver-1 scope 192.168.2.0 show iprange
Changed the current scope context to 192.168.2.0 scope.
=========================================================
Start Address - End Address - Address type
=========================================================
192.168.2.1 - 192.168.2.100 - DHCP ONLY
Number of IP Ranges : 1 in the Scope : 192.168.2.0.
Command completed successfully.
</pre>
To delete a scope using netsh:
<pre>
netsh dhcp server \\winserver-1 scope 192.168.2.0 delete iprange 192.168.2.1
192.168.2.100
Changed the current scope context to 192.168.2.0 scope.
Command completed successfully.
</pre>
To display the current state of a scope:
<pre>
netsh dhcp server \\winserver-1 scope 192.168.2.0 show state
Changed the current scope context to 192.168.2.0 scope.
Current State of the Scope 192.168.2.0 : Active
Command completed successfully.
</pre>
To add an exclude range to a scope:
<pre>
netsh dhcp server \\winserver-1 scope 192.168.2.0 add excluderange
192.168.2.10 192.168.2.20
Changed the current scope context to 192.168.2.0 scope.
Command completed successfully.
</pre>
To display an exclude ranges:
<pre>
netsh dhcp server \\winserver-1 scope 192.168.2.0 show excluderange
Changed the current scope context to 192.168.2.0 scope.
=====================================
Start Address - End Address
=====================================
192.168.2.10 - 192.168.2.20
Number of ExcludeRanges : 1 in the Scope : 192.168.2.0.
Command completed successfully.
</pre>
To list the clients using a DHCP scope:
<pre>
netsh dhcp server \\winserver-1 scope 192.168.2.0 show clients
Changed the current scope context to 192.168.2.0 scope.
Type : N - NONE, D - DHCP B - BOOTP, U - UNSPECIFIED, R - RESERVATION IP
==================================================================================
IP Address - Subnet Mask - Unique ID - Lease Expires

==================================================================================
No of Clients(version 4): 0 in the Scope : 192.168.2.0.
Command completed successfully.
