switching to a new ip scope

Lee H

Hi

hope i am in the right forum for this question so its not falling on deaf ears.

We have 2 scopes in our school 2 X 254 IP's which we have just ran out of with growing clients. We have a new scope 4 X 254 IP's and need to go on this new scheme. Is it a lengthy and difficult process to change over, our switches are static and print servers everything else is DHCP.

Any info would be great

Why not create a SuperScope?

Hi,

Refer HERE for some help setting this up.

I would be prepared to read a little to understand this topic. For what you want to do it is a viable solution.

I would suggest that you setup a superscope,it will work pretty well. However you need to setup a DHCP relay agent on the subnets inorder for the hosts to get ip addresses, otherwise check if your routers are RFC-1542 compliant if they are u only need a superscope and no relay agent.

Otherwise i'm workin to get this exam done by next week.

Hi

I have been informed that setting up a relay agent is with the switch, is it a simple process to setup. Does anyone know what it entails.
