IP pool used address owner? hotspot vs DHCP?

Mon Oct 03, 2011 5:05 pm

Hello, quick question. We're running a simple hotspot setup with basic DHCP functionality. We noticed in the used addresses list that the owner is either DHCP or hotspot. Is there any rhyme or reason as to why this happens? It doesn't appear to be causing any issues.

Hotspot one to one NAT is using the same address pool, so every user is pulling two addresses. One via DHCP, one from the Hotspot. If you don't need that feature you can just set the address pool on all Hotspot servers as well as user profiles to 'none'.
