What does a Super Scope do in DHCP? | Windows Admin

 The Super Scope gives the DHCP server the possibility to have leases to multiple clients on the same physical network. The leases come from multiple scopes. All scopes must be defined using DHCP manager before the Super Scope creation and they are named member scopes. The DHCP problems can be resolved by the Super Scope in different ways like the following:
a) on a physical network like a LAN network where multiple logical IP networks exist Super Scope is very useful here. These types of networks are also named multinets.
b) there is also need for a Super Scope when the address pool for the current scope becomes empty and there is a need for new computers on the physical network.
c) when clients have to move on another scope.
d) when DHCP clients from the other side of the relay agents (BOOTP) or the network has many logical subnets.
e) when standard networks are limited to leasing addresses for the clients.
