Additional IP address pol

RouterOS Beginner Basics

Hello!

I do not have enough IP address for my clients in my range
10.5.0.1/24

I would need more then 250 addresses, how can I add one more pool for DHCP, let’s say 10.5.1.1/24 so I can have additional 250?

What changes I need to make to firewall, routes to make 10.5.1.1/24 has internet connectivity?

Thanks

You can change /24 to /23, then you’ll have 510 usable IPs. This site: http://www.subnet-calculator.com/cidr.php helps you calculate how many IPs you’d have given a subnet.

If you use 10.5.0.1/23 as your interface IP, then you’ll be able to use 10.5.0.2 - 10.5.1.254 as IPs on the same LAN. Then change your pool to give out IPs 10.5.0.2 - 10.5.1.254

When you change your interface’s IP, the route associated with it will automatically update.

Alright I did like that!

IP > Address - Changed from /24 to /23

IP > Firewall > NAT > Masquarade > Changed from /24 to /23

IP > DHCP > Networks - Changed form /24 to /23

Added to Pool:
10.5.1.5 - 10.5.1.250

We will see now.
I’m not on that location so I will have to wait for feedback :slight_smile:

Thanks so much
