I have a 2008 r2 domain server that I am setting up separate client DHCP scopes. One for regular wireless network and one for the guest network. I followed the same process to create both but they both created differently when viewed in the DHCP mgmt interface. The .40 is working, the clients grab the next available IP and they are off. The .50 is not working correctly or the same way. See detail below.
I created a Scope for the wireless network clients 10.100.40.0 /21 Range 10.100.40.1-47.254 subnet mask 255.255.248.0 The scope created as a super scope and added scopes .40 .41 .42 .43 .44 .45 .46 .47 (all as separate scopes under the super scope) for distribution which is accurate according to the subnet calculator. I excluded 40.1-10. It works! clients fill up .40 and move to .41 etc. Statistics total scopes 8, total addresses 2023, in use 874, available 1149.
I created a scope for the guest wireless network clients 10.100.50.0 /21 same way! Range 10.100.48.1-55.254 (according to the subnet calculator)
subnet mask 255.255.248.0 The scope created as a regular scope 10.100.48.0 /21 starting address assigned is in the 48 subnet. I excluded 10.100.50.1-10. Statistics total scopes listed none ( no line), total addresses 2036, in use 262, available
1774.
I would prefer they both be set up the same way and functioning. As I said earlier .40 is working great! but .50 seems to have some .48 clients, 3 49 clients and a small group for 50 starting from the exclusion. I am not sure it is working correctly ... I have had several people tell me that they are not able to grab an IP on the guest network. I have tried to recreate several time with out any different results.
Anyone have any ideas why .50 is different and what I could do to fix this? Thanks! chabo
