Step 1. Before starting, please check your server’s IP address from “CMD Prompt” using the “IPCONFIG” command and confirm that your server IP is based on static IP and also that the server IP is going to use the DHCP scope.

Step 7. In this step, you can delay some IPs for reservations. Here, I chose 192.168.1.30. After that, click Add and click Next.

Step 8. Here, you can set IP duration or leave default after clicking next.

Step 9. Click next.

Step 10. Give your router’s IP address (default gateway) after click add and then click next.

Step 11. In this step, your server’s IP automatically appears after that click next.
