In this lab, you will create a new multicast scope in the DHCP utility.
- In the DHCP window, right-click your DHCP server and choose New Multicast Scope. The New Multicast Scope Wizard appears. Click the Next button on the Welcome page.
- In the Multicast Scope Name page, name your multicast scope (and add a description if you like). Click the Next The IP Address Range page appears. Enter a start IP address of 224.0.0.0 and an end IP address of 224.255.0.0. Adjust the TTL to 1 to make sure that no multicast packets escape your local network segment. Click the Next button when you’re done.
- The Add Exclusions page appears; click its Next button.
- The Lease Duration page appears. Normally you leave multicast scope assignments in place somewhat longer than you would with a regular unicast scope, hence the default lease length of 30 days. Click the Next button.
- The wizard asks you if you want to activate the scope now. Click the No radio button and then the Next button.
- The Wizard Summary page appears; click the Finish button to create your scope.
- Verify that your new multicast scope appears in the DHCP snap-in.
