Question : superscope vs regular scope

What is the difference between a regular scope and super scope?

I used to run two separate scopes in my DHCP server here (because I had 2 physical networks).


At work, we run a superscope (172.25.22.0 network and 172.25.42.0 network).

What is the difference between the two? And what advantage would I have running a superscope?
THanks

Answer : superscope vs regular scope

dissolved,
A superscope is a collection of individual scopes that can be managed as a single administrative unit. That's what the book says, so it must make sense, right? Well if that doesn't make much sense to you, join the club. Let's see if we can shed some light on what superscopes are and what they can be used for.

A superscope is actually a collection of individual scopes. When you group different scopes together into a single superscope, you can do the following:

1. Place DHCP clients from multiple network IDs on the same physical segment
2. Allow remote DCHP clients from multiple network IDs to obtain an address from a DHCP Server
3. Place multiple DHCP Servers on the same physical segment, with each DCHP Server being responsible for a different scope.
