Scopes are logical groupings of IP addresses associated with
a specific subnet mask. IP addresses are allocated from scopes when IP-based sites are created. Scopes
and IP addresses are not used when name-based sites are created.
If a site that uses an IP address
is removed, the IP address is placed at the end of the scope's available
IP addresses.

Add Scope form On the top navigation bar, click administration,
then click the IP addresses tab.
