DHCP Reservation, DHCP Exclusion and Static IP

Detect and Avoid IP Address Conflicts

From DHCP Server set the conflict detection to a value greater than 0.

Fix duplicate IP address conflicts on a DHCP network


DHCP Reservation, DHCP Exclusion and Static IP

DHCP Reservation 

Client use DHCP request and DHCP server assign that reserved IP address.
Client MAC address have to Map with IP address in the DHCP server Reservation List.




DHCP Exclusion

Client use Static IP address (Server, AD, DNS,..). and DHCP server is never assign that IP address to the DHCP request clients.
IP address or Range of IP are excluded in the DHCP server Exclusion list.



 Many applications require a static IP. If the server is configured to use DHCP, the application has no way of knowing that a reservation exists and may refuse to install. Also some applications tie their license to an IP address and therefore must be static as well.

 Laptops, phones, and any "mobile" devices should be reserved not static.
It requires no set up on the device and the server will reserve that address for that device.

 If you're referring to network devices like IP cameras and printers, reservations are definitely the way to go because you can add a comment in the reservation as to what the device is and where it's located. Depending on the device, this may be your only means of documenting that information within the system.

HOW TODHCP Reservation
This scenario IP address is already using as a DHCP client. Then assign it to Reserved.
DHCP reservation required to know Client MAC address to MAP with IP address.
Step 1:   Unique ID = MAC address

Step 2: Checking after reserved

Step 3: Adding Description for Management purpose

HOW TODHCP Exculsion
DHCP excluded IP address or IP range. It will never assign auto to DHCP client.
When client is Manually assign Static IP. DHCP server cannot see from Address Lease for that IP Address.
Step 1:   Exclusion the IP Address (only 1 IP address, just add in at Start IP only)

Step 2:   From Address Pool can see the excluded IP address

Step 3:   DHCP server cannot see Excluded IP Address from Address Lease

Step 4:   Ping to that Excluded IP address and test connectivity
