How do you configure the DHCP Server on the Bolt to specify the pool of addresses it can assign? It seems like it just starts auto-assigning at 1, but this may not be desirable due to a mixture of existing static IPs on my LAN network and new WLAN devices wanting addresses assigned by the Bolt. I’d like to give the Bolt a small limited pool of controlled addresses.
Currently we do not have the ability to set the range of the DHCP server. We are looking into adding this in a future firmware release.
I updated to FW version 1.3.8, and I see a new option for starting address allowing more control over the DHCP channel range. Thank you! Can I assume the bolt will only use a maximum of 7 contiguous IP addresses? I.E. If the starting address is 201, it can use 201-207, but nothing outside that range?
The internal DHCP server address range is set as X.X.X.Y where X is given by the static IP address of the unit. Y is the DHCP lease start address and is entered below in the range 1-247. Additional DHCP leases are given automatically by Y+n where n=6 is maximum.
