[Chilli] CoovaChilli DHCP Tuning

[Steffen Dettmer]

Hi,

sorry, I patched in support for HS_DHCP_START/ HS_DHCP_END in
some wrapper script, normal Coova config does not support them,
and my calculation leaves the very last IP of the pool unused, so
correct should be to add in e.g. local.conf:

  dhcpstart=2 # configures offset to be added to HS_NETWORK
  dhcpend=1791 # configures offset to be added to HS_NETWORK
  maxclients=1789 # Maximum number of clients/subscribers

I set maxclients a bit bigger (i.e. at least 1790) to get “Failed
allocate dynamic IP address” before “reached max connections 1790”.

Best regards,
Steffen

Hi,

at this level of configuration I guess you could use:

HS_DHCP_START=1
HS_DHCP_END=1790
(with x.y.6.254 = 6*256+254=1790)

Regards,
Steffen

Hello Chilli List
how would i configure local.conf for following requirements ?

HS_NETWORK=172.16.0.0
HS_NETMASK=255.255.248.0
CoovaChilli would issue ip address   

FROM: 172.16.0.1  

TO: 172.16.7.254  

BUT i want to end 172.16.6.254

  
dhcpstart = ?
dhcpend = ?
Thanks
