Question : DHCP Scope Conflict

Hello All- I am attempting to set up a new DHCP scope and encountering the
error message "The address range and mask conflict with an existing scope."
The scope I am attempting is 192.168.150.210-234. The existing scopes are on
two different servers: Server1 Scope 192.168.150.20-74, and Server2 Scope
192.168.150.75-124. All scopes are /24. I was able to set up the two existing
scopes with the same mask, but do not understand why an additional scope on
Server2 (Windows 2k3) is producing this error. Any ideas why I am encountering this error?

Thanx

Answer : DHCP Scope Conflict

Real easy... Setup DHCP Reservations.

All you would need to do is find out the MAC address of each phone and reserve them positions in your scope.  Just do a Create Reservation and everything is self-explanatory within the window that pops up.

Just another tip... if the phone doesn't have the MAC address listed on a label somewhere, just plug it into your network and in your Address Lease list, you can find the MAC address that way.  Just remember that once the Reservation is set, you will have to power cycle the phone (or just disconnect and reconnect it from the network) to get the new Reserved IP.
