# Disable DHCP Scope
## Endpoint
`/api/dhcp/scopes/disable`
Obsolete path: `/api/disableDhcpScope`
## Method
GET
## Description
Disables the DHCP scope and stops any further lease allocations. Existing leases are not immediately revoked but no new leases will be offered and no renewals will be processed for clients in this scope.
## Authentication
Required. Token must have **DhcpServer: Modify** permission.
## Parameters
| `token` | string | Yes | No | The session token generated by the `login` or the `createToken` call. |
| `name` | string | Yes | No | The name of the DHCP scope to disable. |
## Response Fields
Empty response object on success.
## Conditional Logic Notes
- None. This is a simple state-change operation.
## Edge Cases
- Disabling an already-disabled scope is not documented as producing an error; it likely succeeds silently.
- The scope must exist; behavior when targeting a nonexistent scope is not documented.
- Existing leases remain in place but will not be renewed once the scope is disabled. Clients will lose connectivity when their leases expire unless another DHCP server is available.
