- 1). Open the DHCP management console for Windows 2000 or Windows 2003. Click on the Windows "Start" button and choose "Control Panel." From the Control Panel, double-click "DHCP."
- 2). Open the superscope wizard. In the list of DHCP servers, right-click on the server you want to configure, and choose "New Superscope."
- 3). Enter a new superscope name. The DHCP wizard asks for a name and scope. Enter the configuration name and an IP address. For instance, a superscope for an existing 192.168.0.1 IP range is 192.168.0.0. Click "OK."
- 4). Enter a child range. Right-click the DHCP server again and choose "New Scope." In the IP text box, enter an IP range to assign to new computers on the network. For instance, using a superscope of 192.168.0.0, a valid IP address range is 192.168.1.0 to 192.168.1.254. Press "OK."
- 5). Define the lease duration. The wizard prompts for a date range. This can be anywhere from 1 day to several months. Press "OK."
