I am a bit confused with DHCP scopes using DHCPd in Redhat 8. I understand a scope would look something like this in the dhcpd.conf:

subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
range 192.168.1.10 192.168.1.100;
range 192.168.1.150 192.168.1.200;
}

But, I need the server to provide IPs to 290 so computers throughout 5 counties. I need to have one set up IPs for each county.
How would I get DHCP to assign the IPs of each county with their own set of IPs?

You'll need to use a class B licence such as 172.16.0.0 network where you can use 65534 available hosts.

Thanks, but that doesn't help me too much. Can you point me to some documentation? A google search got me primarily Win2k results.

Thanks...

You would want to make subnets to ensure each county has a unique IP Range.
See any TCP /IP Overview / Subnetting.
That should help.
