I have one subnet of 192.168.2.0 which is very close to running out of available addresses. I am using Server 2003 as a DHCP server and all devices are currently on that subnet. My servers/printers/network devices are statically set within this subnet from 192.168.2.2 to 192.168.2.109, and my dynamic clients are just being dished out from a DHCP scope from 192.168.2.110 to 192.168.2.254.
I have read somewhat about creating “superscopes” in DHCP and also I have read about just using subnetting to get the job done. For example, to create a new scope in the DHCP server from 192.168.2.1 to 192.168.3.254 with a mask of 255.255.254.0 to give me a total of 510 addresses, but won’t that pose a problem with the two subnets communicating with each other?
Basically I just need more addresses and I need all of the addresses to be able to communicate back and forth without any hickups or problems. Any ideas and suggestions are appreciated.
