DHCP Range

Post by nimish2004 »

Hi, I am new to Gargoyle. Here is my query:-

Router - TPLink WR1043ND V3
Gargoyle - viewtopic.php?f=8&t=7176

I have V3 Router, hence I downloaded the Gargoyle bin file from the forum topic mentioned above.

My LAN network configuration is as follows:-
IP - 192.168.1.1
Subnet - 255.255.248.0

I have a network of approximately 600 devices (computers and mobiles)
I want to reserve approximately 200 devices for fixed IP address (usually computers)
And I want the remaining to be connected by DHCP server (usually mobiles)

So I want fixed IPs from 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254
and I want DHCP server from 192.168.2.1 to 192.168.3.254

However in Gargoyle setting I can only select DHCP server settings as from 192.168.1.x to 192.168.1.y (where I can specify x & y)

How do I fix this? How can I change DHCP server range to be as per my requirement?

Start at this page
https://wiki.openwrt.org/doc/uci/dhcp#all_options
Learn all there is to know about the DHCP config, including start and limit options.

Then look at the examples for large subnets.
