To simplify scope management, you can group related scopes together in a superscope based on criteria such as geographic location, department, or subnet range. Creating a superscope allows for the assignment of IP addresses from various scopes to clients on the same network.

Each superscope is associated with a specific DHCP server and is implemented on a per-server basis. There can only be one unique superscope per network (IP range).

To create a superscope:

  1. On the DHCP superscopes tab of the IPAM page, select Create superscope on the task bar.
  2. In the wizard, enter an identifying name for the superscope and select the DHCP server where it will be hosted. Add an (optional) description of the superscope.
    Note: The name cannot be changed once the superscope has been created.
  3. Select Next to proceed.
  4. Add scopes to the superscope by selecting one or more scopes from the list. If you want to add scopes later, select Next to skip this step.
    Note: A superscope will not be activated on the server until at least one scope is added. Therefore, DHCP scope options cannot be configured for the superscope until it contains at least one scope.

    The Select scopes step of the Create superscope wizard.

    • The list only shows scopes on the selected server that are not included in a superscope.

    • Use the quick filter search box to find and select the desired scopes.

  5. Review your entries in the Summary. Select Add to complete the superscope creation.
