Dan,
No, the IOS will not give those out so you do not need to exclude them.
However, make sure you exclude the following addresses (if they are
within the network range you are adding to your DHCP scope):
1) Any addresses specifically said to exclude or "not assign"
2) Default Gateway (default network) (this will always be within your
network range).
3) DNS (if it's in the range of the DHCP pool)
4) WINS (if it's in the range of the DHCP pool)
Also notice one other important "gotcha":
If you need to enter, say, 2 DNS entries into your DHCP pool, *MAKE SURE
YOU PUT THEM ON THE SAME LINE*. If you put them as two separate lines,
your second command will actually *REPLACE* the first command and you
will lose your first DNS server (or WINS, or DEFAULT NETWORK, or
whatever).
Keep all the points you can get... :)

Kenneth,
So when using ip dhcp exculde we have to exclude also all 0 and all 1 ?
