Creating a New Superscope

In this section, you create a test superscope.

Creating a Superscope and Member Scopes

In this section, you create a superscope that includes the existing scope Test Scope. You then add a second scope to the superscope.

1. JIf you have not already done so, from Computer1, log on to Domain1 as Administrator.
2. Open the DHCP console.
3. JIn the DHCP console tree, right-click the Computer1.domain1.local icon, and then select New Superscope.
   The New Superscope Wizard launches.
4. JClick Next.
   The Superscope Name page appears.
5. JIn the Name text box, type Super1, and then click Next.
   The Select Scopes page appears.
6. In the Available Scopes area, select the only scope listed: [192.168.0.0] Test Scope.
7. JClick Next.
   The Completing The New Superscope Wizard page appears.
8. Click Finish.
   In the DHCP console, a new superscope named Super1 appears. This new superscope includes the scope named Test Scope.
9. Expand the Superscope Super1 folder.
10. JRight-click the Superscope Super1 folder and select New Scope.
    The New Scope Wizard launches.
11. JUse the settings specified in the following table to complete the New Scope Wizard.
    Leave the defaults for all unspecified settings.

    New Scope Wizard Page			Setting
    Scope Name			Name: Test Scope 2
    IP Address Range		Start IP Address: 192.168.1.11
    				End IP Address: 192.168.1.254
    Subnet Mask			255.255.255.0
    				Length = 24
    Add Exclusions			[defaults]
    Lease Duration			[defaults]
    Configure DHCP Options		[default]
    Router (Default Gateway)	[default]
    Domain Name And DNS Servers	[defaults]
    WINS Servers			[default]
    Activate Scope			[default]
    

    After you complete the New Scope Wizard, two scopes should now be listed under the superscope Super1: Test Scope and Test Scope 2.
12. Take a minute to browse the new settings in the DHCP console.
    If this configuration were in a production environment, a router would be needed to allow the 192.168.0.0 subnet to communicate with the 192.168.1.0 subnet.
    Because this testing configuration does not include a router and cannot be used, the new superscope Super1 and new scope Test Scope 2 should both be deleted.
    Important A superscope must always be deleted before you can delete any of its member scopes.
13. Right-click the Superscope Super1 folder and then select Delete.
    A message box appears indicating that only the superscope and not the child scopes will be deleted.
14. Click Yes.
15. JIn the DHCP console, right-click the Scope [192.168.1.0] Test Scope 2 folder, and then select Delete.
    A message box appears asking you to confirm the deletion.
16. Click Yes.
17. Close the DHCP console.
18. Log off Computer1.
