DHCP Clarify
Cessation

After studying some DHCP I had a question.
When setting a computer/server up for a static Ip I see two ways of doing this.
1. Reserve a slot using the Mac addy.
2. Excluding an Ip address and setting up the static Ip.
Is this correct or will excluding an IP completely block that specific Ip/Ip Range from being used?
Thanks!

It won't block it from being used, only from being assigned through DHCP.CERTS: VCDX #110 / VCAP-DCA #500 (v5 & 4) / VCAP-DCD #10(v5 & 4) / VCP 5 & 4 / EMCISA / MCSE 2003 / MCTS: Vista / CCNA / CCENT / Security+ / Network+ / Project+ / CIW Database Design Specialist, Professional, Associate -

Define a pool for the Scope in which the static IP address of the server does not enter, or do an exclusion, just doing a reservation of an IP address does not exclude that IP address from being assigned to other machines in some circumstance. -

I prefer entering the entire range and excluding the range of IPs you don't want the DHCP server to hand out. When you're administering a bunch of servers, it makes it easy to just look at the scope and see the entire range there and look at what specifically is excluded from being handed out.“For success, attitude is equally as important as ability.” - Harry F.
