DHCP Range

[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?

not using the GUI, only via the command line

Start at this page

Learn all there is to know about the DHCP config, including start and limit options.

Then look at the examples for large subnets.
