Windows Server 2008 R2, running the DHCP service.
DHCP Scope: 192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.254
Exclusions: 192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.99
If a reservation uses an IP address in the exclusion range (like 192.168.1.42
), what will happen when that specific client makes a DHCP request?
Will it get the reserved address (even if it's excluded from the scope) or will it get another, casual one?
Best Answer
It will get the address. In one network I manage all of the reservations are in the excluded range.
