To configure DHCP service for an IPv4 network and the resources in the network, perform the following tasks:

1. Create a network and assign it to Grid members or Microsoft DHCP servers, or an interface on an external discovered device. For information about Adding IPv4 Networks and <span style="color: #003300">Modifying IPv4 Networks, see </span>[*<span style="color: #0000ff">Configuring IPv4 Networks</span>*](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/nios90/pages/280761742)<span style="color: #003300">.</span>
2. Configure DHCP properties for the network. You can override properties set at the Grid or member level and enter unique values for the network. For information, see [*<span style="color: #0000ff">Configuring General IPv4 DHCP Properties</span>*](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/nios90/pages/280663815) and [*<span style="color: #0000ff">Configuring DHCP IPv4 and IPv6 Common Properties</span>*](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/nios90/pages/280761881)[.](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/nios90/pages/280761881)
3. Optionally, assign zones to a network. For information, see [*<span style="color: #0000ff">Associating Networks with Zones</span>*](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/nios90/pages/280761881).
4. Add a DHCP range to the network and assign it to a member, a failover association, or a Microsoft DHCP server. For information about <span style="color: #003300">Adding IPv4 Address Ranges </span> and <span style="color: #003300">Modifying IPv4 Address </span><span style="color: #003300">Ranges, see </span>[*<span style="color: #0000ff">Configuring IPv4 Address Ranges</span>*](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/nios90/pages/280663590).
5. Optionally, add exclusions to the DHCP range for addresses that are not used for dynamic allocation. For information, see [*<span style="color: #0000ff">Configuring IPv4 Fixed Addresses</span>*](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/nios90/pages/280271095)[.](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/nios90/pages/280271095)
6. Optionally, configure DHCP properties for the address range. You can override properties set at an upper level and enter unique values for the address range. For information, see [*<span style="color: #0000ff">Modifying IPv4 Address Ranges</span>*](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/nios90/pages/280663590).
7. Optionally, define filters for precise address assignments and apply them to the DHCP range. For information, see*<span style="color: #0000ff"> </span>*[<span style="color: #0000ff">*About IPv4 DHCP Filters*</span>](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/nios90/pages/280791719)<span style="color: #003300">*.*</span>
8. Optionally, add fixed addresses and reservations to the network and configure DHCP properties for them. For information, see [*<span style="color: #0000ff">Configuring IPv4 Fixed Addresses</span>*](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/nios90/pages/280271095) and [*<span style="color: #0000ff">Configuring IPv4 Reservations</span>*](https://infoblox-docs.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/nios90/pages/280404203).
