DHCP Reservation Tool
Reservation Manager - A tool to manage reservations
Reservation Manager:
Reservations are a critical feature in the DHCP server. Reservations’ are generally used for centralized static IP address assignment for critical machines. This way the IP address of the critical machines which serves critical functions in the network will not have dynamically assigned IP address which can change over time. The reservation manager is a tool which will help solve typical reservation-related problems which the network admins might face. More often than not this tool tries to automate problems to recurring customer problems. It tries to solve the following reservation-related problems:
1) Migrating reservations from one DHCP Server to another on specific subnets.
As a general best-practice, reservations must be duplicated across all DHCP servers serving the same subnet. This particular functionality addresses this best-practice. Without this the admin has to manually dump reservations from one server to another. This command takes 3+ arguments. The first argument tells the destination DHCP server IP address to which the reservations must be copied to. The second argument identifies the IP Address of the source DHCP server. The last argument is either ‘all’ or identifies the first scope address on which this operation has to be performed. The third argument can be followed by n number of arguments which identify the different subnet’s to which this operation has to be performed.
Example:
cscript rmanager.vbs Rmanager –migrate 10.0.0.1 11.0.0.1 all
This command will copy all reservations in all scopes from the server 10.0.0.1 to the server 11.0.0.1.
cscript rmanager.vbs Rmanager –migrate 10.0.0.1 11.0.0.1 12.0.0.0 10.0.0.0 11.0.0.0
This command will copy reservations from the scopes 12.0.0.0 10.0.0.0 and 11.0.0.0 from the server 10.0.0.1 to 11.0.0.1.
For this command to work properly the specified scope/scopes should be present in both the servers. An error message will be printed for those scopes for which this condition is not met. Also for those reservations which cannot be added successfully for whatever reason, an error is printed. Also for every successfully migrated reservation, it can be printed.
In addition to this, this command can also take an additional preview switch which will just print the action which will be taken and not actually take the action. This is especially useful when the admin wants to review the action before doing it.
Example:
cscript rmanager.vbs Rmanager –migrate 10.0.0.1 11.0.0.1 all –preview out.txt
cscript rmanager.vbs Rmanager –migrate 10.0.0.1 11.0.0.1 12.0.0.0 10.0.0.0 11.0.0.0 –preview out.txt
2) Synchronizing reservations on 2 DHCP servers on specific subnets.
As already mentioned, it is a general best-practice for reservations must be duplicated across all DHCP servers serving the same subnet. This particular functionality addresses this best-practice in a more subter way. Instead of copying reservations from one server to another, this option lets the admin to synchronize the reservation lists between two servers. The arguments for this switch is exactly similar to that of the migrate switch. This command also has an optional preview switch.
Example:
cscript rmanager.vbs Rmanager –sync 10.0.0.1 11.0.0.1 all
This command will sync all reservations in all scopes from the server 11.0.0.1 to the server 10.0.0.1.
cscript rmanager.vbs Rmanager –sync 10.0.0.1 11.0.0.1 12.0.0.0 10.0.0.0 11.0.0.0
For this command to work properly the specified scope/scopes should be present in both the servers. An error message will be printed for those scopes for which this condition is not met. Also for those reservations which cannot be added successfully for whatever reason, an error is printed. Also for every successfully migrated reservation, it can be printed.
In addition to this, this command can also take an additional preview switch which will just print the action which will be taken and not actually take the action. This is especially useful when the admin wants to review the action before doing it.
Example:
cscript rmanager.vbs Rmanager –sync 10.0.0.1 11.0.0.1 all –preview out.txt
cscript rmanager.vbs Rmanager –sync 10.0.0.1 11.0.0.1 12.0.0.0 10.0.0.0 11.0.0.0 –preview out.txt
3) Dumping leases on specific subnets.
This command dumps the leases for a specific scope and server into a human-editable text file. The file will contains several lines each of which corresponds to a single lease. A lease is represented by IP address and MAC address. The exact utility of this command will be exposed once you see the next section.
Example:
cscript rmanager.vbs Rmanager -dumplease out.txt 120.0.0.1 all
The above command dumps all leases in all scopes in the server 120.0.0.1 to a text file called "out.txt"
cscript rmanager.vbs Rmanager -dumplease out.txt 120.0.0.1 10.0.0.0 11.0.0.0
The above command dumps all leases in scopes 10.0.0.0 and 11.0.0.0 in the server 120.0.0.1 to a text file called "out.txt"
4) MakeReservation switch.
This switch tries to create reservations on a given DHCP server from the information present in a given input file. The input file contains several lines of info. Each line corresponds to a single reservation. Each reservation is represented by IP address and MAC address pair. The format of this input file is exactly the same as the output file of the -dumplease switch.
Example:
cscript rmanager.vbs Rmanager -makereservation 120.0.0.1 out.txt
This command will create reservations out of information present in the file out.txt in the server 120.0.0.1.
Based on the -dumplease and -makereservation switch, some interesting possibilities arise. What is possible is the following scenario: An admin has an active DHCP server which has a couple of scopes. Initially there are no reservations in any of these scopes. Thus all the subnets corresponding to these scopes have dynamic addresses. In the environment any machine which is plugged into the these subnets will get a dynamic IP address from the DHCP server. Now to restrict the access of the network to those machines that are already connected to the network, the admin can do the following.
cscript rmanager.vbs Rmanager -dumplease out.txt 120.0.0.1 all
cscript rmanager.vbs Rmanager -makereservation 120.0.0.1 out.txt
These two commands intends to convert every active lease in a given DHCP server identified by an IP address in a given set of scopes identified by a list of scope addresses into reservations. Once this is done, the admin also has to make sure that the whole address space in the given scope in the DHCP server are excluded. This operation is thus particularly relevant to those admins who might want to move from a pure Dynamic IP address assignment to a more controlled purely reservation oriented address assignment. This way the admin can keep track of who is getting IP addresses and can limit the network access to those clients who already have an IP address.
The first command Rmanager -dumplease <filename> <Scope Identifiers> will dump all the active leases in the specified server and scope to a text file. This text file will have pair of IP address and MAC addresses. The second command Rmanager –makereservation <ServerIdentifier> <filename> will take the file which is generated by the first command and create reservations corresponding to them. The idea behind separating these two actions is to make sure that the admin gets a chance to edit the file generated by the first command before proceeding to the second. Also we want to support scenarios where the admin can just create the file and use it to run the second command directly.
In the attachment (See the link at the end of this post), Find the RManager.vbs .You need to extract the contents of the zip file into a separate folder and run it from there. The zip file should contain two files: rmanager.vbs and help.txt.
If you are not able to get it, Cut-copy-paste the following into a file named rmanager.vbs. Also copy the contents of the documentation help.txt
Run it by typing "cscript rmanager.vbs"

And here is a more formal looking help:
USAGE:
Rmanager /?
-migrate <source server> <destination server> <all|<list of scopes>>
[-preview [filename]]
-sync <server1> <server2> <all | <list of scopes>>
[-preview [filename]]
-dumplease <filename> <server> <all | <listof scopes>>
-makereservation <server> <filename>
Options:
/? display this help message
-migrate copies reservations from all or the specified
scopes from source to destination server...if
preview is specified, it shows the commands that
will be executed, in the output file
-sync synchronises reservations between two servers for
all or the specified scopes....if preview is
specified, it shows the commands that will be
executed, in the output file
-dumplease outputs the ip and macaddresses of all clients in
the given server for the given scopes
-makereservation adds reservations for the ip and mac address pairs
from the given file into the given server
Examples:
> cscript rmanager.vbs Rmanager -migrate 120.0.0.1 120.0.0.2 all
....copies reservations in all scopes from server 120.0.0.1
to server 120.0.0.2
> cscript rmanager.vbs Rmanager -sync 120.0.0.1 120.0.0.2 120.0.0.0
....synchronises reservations between the two servers
120.0.0.1 and 120.0.0.2 for the scope 120.0.0.0
> cscript rmanager.vbs Rmanager -dumplease out.txt 120.0.0.1 all
...dumps all clients' ip and mac addresses into out.txt
> cscript rmanager.vbs Rmanager -makereservation 120.0.0.1 out.txt
...takes ip and mac address pairs from the file out.txt and
makes reservation on the server 120.0.0.1
