Adding Exclusions
As with the IPv4 New Scope Wizard, the Add Exclusions page (see Figure 2.29) allows
you to create exclusion ranges.
Exclusions
are TCP/IP numbers that are in the pool but do
not get issued to clients. To exclude one address, put it in the Start IPv6 Address field. To
exclude a range, also fill in the End IPv6 Address field.

Setting a Lease Duration
The Scope Lease page (see Figure 2.30) allows you to set how long a device gets to use
an assigned IP address before it has to renew its lease. You can set two different lease
durations. The section labeled Non Temporary Address (IANA) is the lease time for your
more permanent hosts (such as printers and server towers). The one labeled Temporary
Address (IATA) is for hosts that might disconnect at any time, such as laptops.
Activating the Scope
The Completing The New Scope Wizard page (see Figure 2.31) gives you the option to
activate the scope immediately after creating it. By default, the wizard will assume you
want the scope activated. If you want to wait to activate the scope, choose No in the
Activate Scope Now box.
Changing Scope Properties (IPv4 and IPv6)
Each scope has a set of properties associated with it. Except for the set of options assigned
by the scope, you can find these properties on the General tab of the scope's Properties
