DHCP Exclusion Definition: DHCP exclusion refers to a configuration setting in Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) servers that reserves specific IP addresses from being assigned to devices on the network to prevent conflicts or ensure certain addresses are not used.
DHCP Exclusion is a process in Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) where a range of IP addresses is specified to be excluded from being assigned dynamically to devices on a network. This ensures that specific IP addresses within the designated range are not allocated to devices by the DHCP server. DHCP Exclusion allows network administrators to reserve certain IP addresses for static assignment, preventing conflicts with other devices and ensuring that these reserved addresses are not handed out dynamically.
