Server 2003 - DHCP scope

[The_Unbeliever]

Hi

On our DHCP server we got two DHCP scopes.

So how do you deny certain clients access to one scope, so that they will access the other scope?

TIA

What about using reservations based on the clients MAC addressees?

Last time I looked there's no way to exclude certain MAC addresses from a specific scope.

Or I might be looking in the wrong place....

tl;dr

Thanks

Will read them up at the office and see if I can figure out what went wrong with the system as it's not dishing out IP's correctly.

Meh.

Nice

Good news.

I haven't done said DHCP scope fix yet - but it is possible that we'll be getting new servers etc.

If it is indeed the case, then I'm going to plan it properly - with different subnets for the different devices.

Printers go on one subnet.

Test PC's in the test room on another subnet.

Main PC's on the main subnet.

And telephones on their own subnet.

I've got a mind to have two main subnets - one for DHCP only and the other for static IP's.

What do you guys think?

 

[bubbatentoe]

I always try to NOT over complicate things by only separating data & voice.
But as far as data devices go (printers, servers etc) they're all on the same subnet.

Just have one IP range reserved that dont get used in DHCP and dish this out to all servers,printers,AP's ....

 

[bekdik]

Can't you reserve addresses and have these alocated to the client by the DHCP server?

Separate voice & data onto different subnets, and setup IP ranges based on devices. eg: printers x.x.51-.60, 1st floor computers x.x.x.100-.130 etc.

It can get confusing having multiple subnets.

Good pointers.

We already did this - printers into one range, voice & data into different subnets etc.

But keep the ideas coming though


As for multiple subnets - was reconsidering this, is now reconsidering having 3 subnets :

1x for voice
2x for data (1x for front office, 1x for rear office)...

Still got a lot of thinking through. I don't wanna rush into this.

DHCP makes it easier though, to allocate IP's but it does so randomly.

What router you planning on using? Please dont say a windows box ... I suggest a layer 3 switch that can do the routing plus proper VLAN's Best practice is to have voice and data separate to do proper QOS.
