Hello, I got wifi for mobile on eth5. It is Address 10.0.0.1/24, Network 10.0.0.0. IP Pool is 10.0.0.2-10.0.0.254. How can I please add next IP pool? Because we are running out of free addresses. Next IP Pool should be 10.0.1.2-10.0.1.254. Thank you.
You can change your network to /23
So I should not add new pool 10.0.1.0/24?
I think you can do both:
- one pool with two ranges (10.0.0.2-10.0.0.254 and 10.0.1.1-10.0.1.254)
- one pool (10.0.0.2-10.0.1.254)
Maybe anyone else can confirm?
Yes both can be done...
Just don’t forget to change IP subnet settings … both on router (it needs to know how to get to clients with IP addresses from the extended IP range) and on DHCP server (so it knows to send same IP settings to clients with address assigned from extended IP range).
NO PLEASE, NO...
10.0.0.255 and 10.0.1.0 are not well accepted from all devices...
10.0.0.255 and 10.0.1.0 are not well accepted from all devices.
Can you provide more details on that ?
Or give an example ?
Example is easy: not all software work correctly and some devices, regardless the netmask, consider invalid 0 and 255.
The further you go, the more replacement of these devices there is, but to avoid any problems, why put them in the nutshell, when you just don’t need to use them?
What does it cost to have a little extra security when it’s that easy?
ok, you can use the /23 network and use two pools for that particular network excluding the 10.0.1.0 and 10.0.0.255..
pool1 10.0.0.2-10.0.0.254
pool2 10.0.1.1-10.0.1.254
Supposing 10.0.0.1/23 is the gateway…
