IPV6 and Windows 2008 Dhcp Servers

[longman111]

I am in the process of learning ipv6 and working through the requirements at work. One of the issues which I am struggling with is configuring scopes on a Windows 2008 Dhcp server. I run 2 Dhcp servers for IPV4 with non-overlapping scope ranges. I am perplexed with doing that in IPV6. If someone has done this can you give some ideas on how to use 2 Dhcp servers for IPV6 without overlapping address's - having difficulty with the exclusion ranges. Thanks!

Hi there, and welcome.

Being a Bank Holiday (U.K.), and most people out enjoying the sun, the "Crack Voluntary Force" is rather stretched on this occasion. - Apologies.

I have however found a few moments in time to offer some guidance.

I have removed some of the more salient parts of what you have written and projected them towards a "Search Engine."

I realise that you could have done this yourself, but somehow it seems to have slipped past the limitations of the paradigm in which not beholding of either work or pleasure that unfortunately at this moment in time you do not find yourself.

Therefore I take it upon myself to point you, to all that is good and solid about the aforesaid "Search Engine" and knowledge that this can bring about. - Let us begin. - Please click on the purple links below to lead you into regions of helpfulness related to the aforesaid salient points which have been re-directed towards a search engine. (In this case Google.)

"2 Dhcp servers for IPV6 without overlapping addresses" - ** Link to most good Information **

"Process of learning ipv6" - ** Link to most relevant which is also very nice ** - **Also see here**

"Configuring scopes on a Windows 2008 Dhcp server." - ** Very Illuminating learning processes available here **

"Difficulty with the exclusion ranges (ipv6)" - ** Not Rocket Science, but answerable with little difficulty **

It has taken me about 40 seconds to find the above information, and about 3 minutes to type an answer to you.

I do hope some of the information I found is helpful to you, and that it gives also some sort of vision as to how search engines can be used.

"I am in the process of learning ipv6 and working through the requirements at work."

Dont panic too much. I was a bit like that when I started my first job in life. Sit back, think, plan ahead.

Have a look through the links I have given, and be patient for any other answers forthcoming from other folks on the forum.

Thanks I will review the links. I spent considerable amount of time searching but concentrated on Windows 2008 Ipv6 scopes which did not yield much helpful data. Many times the key, as you have found here, is getting just the right phrase. I have been able to create what I think would work but really wanted to read what other users had done to make sure I wasn't going down a wrong path; would hate to leave the next guy to sit in my chair with a bad scheme. While this is my first job, it has been with the same company for 30 years; the past 20 working in IT.

Thanks for coming back with a reply. (Many dont bother at all. :( )

Pleased that the links were of some use.

Apologies for thinking that you were a newbie, but we dont get too many I.T specialists of 20 years service actually asking questions on forums, they are usually sitting on the other side of the fence, and know it all. :lol:

You may find the following two links a little more helpful in your particular case.

Do look back in the next week, just in case anyone here can further help you.

Thanks for using this forum.
