It may seem trivial to a lot of you, but can some one tell me how to revere DHCP pool assignment to work in Ascending manner instead of the Descending manner (IP pool setup 192.168.1.2-192.168.1.254, and first DHCP client get 254).
I don’t think it’s possible - personally, I’d prefer random assignment if it could be configured. I would imagine that this would be configured on the pool if anywhere - you could break it into small pools and set each pool to overflow into the next highest, so you’d get - e.g. 29,28,27..21, 39,38,37…31,49,48… etc.
Thank you.
It is kind weird.
In the MIPSBE hardware (that little box for 750GL) the DHCP address assignment works correctly grabbing the IP from the lowest IP address until the highest one. (10.10.10.1-10.10.10.240).
Now, in the RB3011 ARM hardware it works in a reverse manner.
Why!?
i didn’t see any option to setup the assignment order.
Even forcing the DHCP server with a unique IP address pool and after restoring the pool the new machines can’t get it from the lower to the highest IP in the pool…
it is such a pain …
