DHCP Larger the 256

CRU_Technologies

HI,

I have had a quick look but can't see an answer.

On a USG300 is it possible to have a DHCP range larger than 256 addresses?

Yes just change the subnet

That simple ey? Would of been beneficial if the error on the USG was a bit more informative than 'Computer Says No'.

Thanks though.

Simon.

you can use this to help where Host Address Range will be and on the DHCP increase the pool size

@CRU_Technologies AFAIK someone is managing a firewall should be aware about the 254 hosts limit of .C Class networks (subnet mask 24bits/255.255.255.0).
I used 23 Bits mask (255.255.254.0) for allowing more than 300 customer devices into an hotspot network.
