What DHCP range should I use?

Since the default DHCP address range is between 100 and 149, you’ll want to avoid all of the addresses between 192.168. 1.100 and 192.168. 1.149 when you’re assigning static IP addresses. That leaves the ranges from 2-99 and from 150-254 wide open, which is usually plenty for most home networks.

How many DHCP scopes can you have on a single subnet?

Normally, only one scope can be assigned to a subnet. If more than one scope is required on a subnet, the scopes must first be created then combined into a super scope. For example, if there are two subnets, then users can create two separate scopes for the separate subnets on one DHCP server.

How do I increase my IP range?

Create a new DHCP scope with the new subnet mask. Enable the Conflict Retries option on the DHCP server (set to 1 or 2). Force your DHCP clients to renew their DHCP leases. Change the IP address, subnet mask, and/or default gateway on each statically configured host.

Which is faster DHCP or static?

No, using static addresses is not magically faster than using DHCP addresses. The goal in that article was to get two PCs on the same physical network segment onto the same IP subnet, so that the router hop could be eliminated from the file-transfer network path.

Can we use 2 DHCP servers on same network?

If you are considering multiple DHCP servers, remember that multiple DHCP servers cannot share any of the same addresses. If you use more than one DHCP server in your network, each server must be configured with their own unique IP address ranges.

Can you run 2 DHCP servers on the same network?

On the same subnet, you absolutely cannot run two DHCP servers that assign addresses from the same range. However, on the same subnet, you can have two DHCP servers that assign addresses from different ranges.

How can I get more than 254 IP address?

2) Needing more than 254 IP’s means you need a Class B or Class A subnet. I do not recommend simply changing the netmask, as many devices aren’t going to tolerate a class B or A netmask on a Class C IP.

What is DNS and DHCP?

Domain Name System (DNS) is an Internet service that translates domain names (e.g., its.umich.edu) into IP addresses. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a protocol for automatically assigning IP addresses and other configurations to devices when they connect to a network.
