DHCP on additional addresses

Christoffer Möller
Hi

I'm currently migrating an existing network from and old version of smoothwall to ASG7. The old network has the subnet of 172.16.0.1/24. The problem is that there is no obvius space to put the DHCP addresses. My plan was to add another subnet 172.16.1.1/24 on the same interface and use that for DHCP.

However, it seems i can only add a DHCP server on the primary subnet. The sulution would be to use 172.16.1.1/24 as the primary and add 172.16.0.1/24 as an additional subnet.

Will this work? What else do I need to do so everything works as expected?

I don't have lots experience with bigger networks.

Thanks!

    Yes, you do need to change the subnet mask on the servers to 255.255.254.0 also.  DHCP wil handle that for the clients as it pulls the netmask from the Internal interface definition.
