== Configuring Scopes at the Command Prompt ==
DHCP scopes may also be configured from the command prompt using the netsh tool. netsh may be run as a single command, or interactively. To run interactively. To run in interactive mode follow these steps:
 
1. At the command prompt enter netsh.
 
2. At the netsh> prompt enter dhcp.
 
3. At the netsh dhcp> prompt enter server \\servername where servername is the UNC name or IP address of the server to be managed. For example:
 
<pre>
netsh dhcp>server \\windserver-1
</pre>
 
4. At the netsh dhcp server prompt, enter the commands to be executed.
 
Alternatively, run each netsh command separately, using the following syntax:
 
'''netsh dhcp server''' ''\\servername commands''
 
To create a new DHCP scope the command syntax is as follows:
 
'''netsh dhcp server''' ''\\servername'' '''scope''' ''subnetID'' '''add iprange''' ''startIP endIP''
 
For example, to create a scope on subnet 192.168.2.0 ranging from 192.168.2.1 through 192.168.2.100:
 
<pre>
netsh dhcp server \\winserver-1 scope 192.168.2.0 add iprange 192.168.2.1 192.168.2.100
 
Changed the current scope context to 192.168.2.0 scope.
 
Command completed successfully.
</pre>
 
To list a scope IP address range:
 
<pre>
netsh dhcp server \\winserver-1 scope 192.168.2.0 show iprange
 
Changed the current scope context to 192.168.2.0 scope.
