If Aslam leaves the exclusion range empty while creating a new DHCP scope, what is a potential issue?

When Aslam leaves the exclusion range empty while creating a new DHCP scope, a potential issue arises due to the presence of manually configured IP addresses on the network. Leaving the exclusion range empty means that the DHCP server could potentially assign IP addresses that are already in use by devices that have been configured with static IP addresses. This can lead to IP address conflicts, where two devices on the network are trying to use the same IP address, resulting in network connectivity issues for one or both devices.

In this scenario, if there are any devices on the network that have been assigned or are using static IP addresses, and the DHCP server leases out those same addresses, it would create a problem because the DHCP server would not recognize that these addresses are already in use. Hence, it's vital to define an exclusion range that accounts for any statically assigned addresses to avoid such conflicts.
