Hi Grant
 
Personally, I am inclined to exclude anything already assigned and be safe. But I am still not 100% sure ful mark woul dbe awarded.
 
Thanks

Hi Sam,

Good question, I have always included the routers address in the exclude
statement. To take the scenerio a bit further, what if your using two
routers on a common LAN, one being the DHCP router with the second just
being a backup gateway i.e HSRP?

I would then include remote routers address and HSRP address, but if the
router is clever enough and is the active HSRP gateway, do you need it?

Cheers Grant

PS will play

Looking at Cisco press LAB book, when configuring DHCP only the default
routers are excluded.

Is it best practice to exclude the acting DHCP router ( though it will never
assign its own IP) as well as DNS servers. These ones seem to have been
omitted.

Any clarifications or rule of thumb would be helpful.

TIA

Sam
