DHCP Server and number of limited IP's

rkowals — Tue, 31 Mar 2020 23:11:51 GMT

I'm creating a guest WiFi which we want an IP pool of 4096, but, it seems I'm limited to only 512. Do I have to create additional DHCP server on multiple AP's?

I setup 512 address but I get the error The management IP address pool must be in same network as the static IP address, I didn't see anything in the article about the management pool

Unfortunately the APs are limited to 512 addresses. The management IP in the device configuration is recommended to be static and then the DHCP subinterface must be in the same network also.

Personally if you're able to, I'd use a dedicated DHCP server rather than the APs if you're using that many addresses.

I set the AP to use a DHCP relay on VLAN 9 with the DHCP IP address. I do a VLAN probe, but I'm not seeing VLAN 9 on the probe report
