Is there a way to limit IP address range from my DHCP server

[Joe C]

I have several workstations using DHCP. These workstations can get a
subnet range between 192.85.202.xxx through 192.85.289.xxx (a very
large range). I would like to know if there is a way to configure my
workstation to use the same DHCP server but only get a limited range
of ip addresses such as 192.85.202.10 - 192.85.202.100 ?

The reason I need this is because the workstations are used to access
a development environment that is firewalled off. The security group
will not open the firewall to the full range of ip segments. Any help
would be appreciated. Thanks

Set the available addresses (range) in the DHCP scope.

If it's just for your workstation, why not set a static IP address?
Otherwise, what is the range of the scope - is it a full Class C, but
the lease pool restricted to 202 - 289?
If so, you could create a reservation for your PC in the 10 - 100
range.

Doesn't this need to be done from the DHCP server ? The DHCP servers
are controlled by a different group and would take some time to even
get them to look a a request. I was lookng for something quicker and
easier. But, thanks for the information.

Yes, it has to be done from the DHCP server. You cannot have the
clients decide which IP address they will accept from the server. If
you can't set the DHCP scope then use static IP addressing on your
workstation.

Disregard my previous post, you have to reserve the staic addresses from
the DHCP server if you want to use satic addresses. You will have to
change the DHCP scope one way or the other.
