Windows 2000 Server
To set up a DHCP scope on a Windows 2000 server, perform the
following steps:
1. Run the Windows 2000 DHCP manager utility. Click Start,
select Settings and Control Panel. Open the Administrative
Tools folder and run the DHCP utility.
2. In the DHCP window, locate and select your Windows 2000
server in the DHCP tree.
If your server is not listed in the tree, select DHCP and click
the Action menu to add the server.
3. After selecting your server in the DHCP tree, click the Action
menu and select New Scope. This runs the Add New Scope
Wizard.
4. In the Add New Scope Wizard, click Next.
5. Enter a Name and Description for this scope, then click Next.
6. Enter the range of IP addresses for this scope (beginning IP
address and ending IP address). Also, enter the subnet mask.
then click Next.
Note If subnetting is used, the subnet mask defines
which portion of an IP address specifies the subnet
and which portion specifies the client device. For
more information, see Appendix A
.
7. If applicable, enter the range of IP addresses within the scope
to be excluded by the server. Then click Next.
8. Set the IP address lease duration for your DHCP clients. Then
click Next.
HP recommends that all printers be assigned reserved IP
addresses. This can be accomplished after you set up the scope
(see step 11
).
