But I would like to reserve 198.1.1.51 and 198.1.1.52 specifically for two switches.
I went to the RESERVATIONS and keyed in these two IP Addresses and the mac addresses of the switches and under supported types, i select DHCP.
When I go to Address Leases - i see that 198.1.1.51 &Â 52 shows as reservation inactive and the type shows as NONE.
I have already released the IP address 198.1.1.51 &Â 52 from the users laptops and renewed their IP addresses, but on the DHCP server it still shows inactive.
Why is this so?
Do I need to go to the Addess Pool and include these two IP addresses (198.1.1.51 &Â 52) under the excluded list?
Please note that the address range for distrubution shows 198.1.1.51 to 198.1.1.199.
What should I do, and what have I done wrong? Has 198.1.1.51 &Â 52 been reserved for the switch? Why does it show inactive in the address leases (when both the switches have been turned on).

In the Address Pool, it shows the Address Range for distribution is from 198.1.1.51 to 198.1.1.199.
Do I need to create an exclusion for 198.1.1.51 &Â 198.1.1.52? If I do this, how will it affect the current Address pool which shows that the distribution list starts from 198.1.1.51?
I have another question. If I wanted to add an additional distribution list of IP Addresses, say from 198.1.1.200 to 198.1.1.210 - how do I do this please?

Exclude IP is only for static IP addresses defined on clients and DHCP pool have them, then you have to exclude IPs to avoid IP adresses duplication.
All devices which have configured reservations must be set up as DHCP clients, no static IP, because they never pull address from DHCP server.

Windows Server 2003 was based on Windows XP and was released in four editions: Web, Standard, Enterprise and Datacenter. It also had derivative versions for clusters, storage and Microsoft’s Small Business Server. Important upgrades included integrating Internet Information Services (IIS), improvements to Active Directory (AD) and Group Policy (GP), and the migration to Automated System Recovery (ASR).
