# Enable DHCP Scope
## Endpoint
`/api/dhcp/scopes/enable`
Obsolete path: `/api/enableDhcpScope`
## Method
GET
## Description
Enables the DHCP scope, allowing the server to begin allocating leases to clients within the scope's address range.
## 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 enable. |
## Response Fields
Empty response object on success.
## Conditional Logic Notes
- None. This is a simple state-change operation.
## Edge Cases
- Enabling an already-enabled 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.
- Enabling a scope will cause the DHCP server to start listening for DHCP requests on the network interface associated with the scope's address range.
