Configuring DHCP scopes

In the previous recipe, Installing and authorizing a DHCP server, you installed and authorized a DHCP server on DC1.Reskit.Org. Before that server can begin to provide IP address configuration information to DHCP clients, you need to create a DHCP scope and DHCP options. A DHCP scope is a range of DHCP addresses that your DHCP server can give out (for a given IP subnet). DHCP options are specific configuration options your DHCP server provides, such as the IP address of the DNS server. DHCP options can be set at a scope level or at a server level, depending on the needs of your organization.

Getting ready

This recipe adds and configures a DHCP scope for your DHCP service on DC1. You installed the DHCP service and authorized it by completing the Installing and authorizing a DHCP server recipe.

How to do it...

1. Create a new DHCP scope:

   $SHT = @{
     Name         = 'Reskit'
     StartRange   = '10.10.10.150'
     EndRange     = '10.10.10.199'
     SubnetMask...
