## Answers

### Answer by Hitesh Vohra

- A **scope i**s a set of IP addresses that DHCP clients can be assigned to. A superscope allows scopes to be linked together to deliver IP addresses to clients on a single physical network from many logical subnets.
- When a single network has numerous network ranges, a Superscope is generated.
- A **superscope** is an administrative feature of Windows Server 2008 Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) servers that you may create and administer with the DHCP Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in. You can group many scopes into a single administrative unit by utilising a superscope. A DHCP server can use this feature to:
- Where several logical IP networks are used, support DHCP clients on a single physical network segment (such as a single Ethernet LAN segment). Multinet configurations are utilised when more than one logical IP network is used on each physical subnet or network.
- Remote DHCP clients on the other side of DHCP and BOOTP relay agents are supported.
