I m Using Hotspot with DHCP.

my IP series almost Finished. how can i define New DHCP or NExt pool so that more then 254 users can be online and get ip address from the server

and hotspot works perfectly

Deleted because not related.

STill not able to fix my isue.

in Second way. when ip assign from next pool then the gateway and dns assigned from old pool. and due to which hotspot is not able to work

in 2nd method i m not understand clearly.

DHCP relay can be configured on the same router os? on which hotspot is working? or i have to install one more router os for DHCP replay???

is there any Clear guidline?

i read the above links too

already lease time is set to just 10 minuts.

actuly in address pol one ip is reserve for DHCP and other ip reserve for Hotspot
in hotspot i set address pool to none. so that my ftp trafic on the network wilnot disturb.

see the bellow screen shot. in this screen shot there are 223 ip address are isued and i have few remain. is there any solution? what to do for upcoming problems after ending the addresses???

Increase your subnet on the LAN form what you currently have a /24, to a /23 or even /22 or whatever subnet size you need. Then you increase the pool size to have the extra addresses and your DHCP server range. Very simple to do. No need to make it complicated and make a "next pool".

For example if you are using 192.168.0.1/24 for your LAN, change the address to 192.168.0.1/23, now you will have addresses from 192.168.0.2-192.168.1.254 that are valid addresses within that subnet and can be handed out via DHCP. Adjust your pool to take this into account, and adjust your DHCP server so that it hands out the correct subnet to clients. This is basic networking stuff.

realy thanks for you. you have a type a lot for me. your english is not poor as you said , i understand. and again thanks for here to help and aisist me.
i just read and after replying i will try to configure again. then will let you know what i did and what happen.

Feklar

Also thanks for you. for helping me. i just changed now /24 to /23 now let me check what will happen when users used all pool address

KARMA for both of you

Dear FEklar

i have changed in IP-->DHCP server--->Networks--->double click the DHCP network and change from 192.168.200.1/24 to 192.168.200.1/23, GATEway is same as 192.168.200.1

Now what i have to define in IP pool e.g in ip pool there is defined series as

name = Hs-pool1
address= 192.168.200.7-192.168.200.254
Next pol= None.

is it the configartion as you said?? or i did something wrong?

waiting for your reply..

Yeap Doby The link you given is realy help full

Thanks for further assistance

realy upset to say that

the DHCP was working perfectly
client was getting start dhcp ip as

ip=192.168.200.1
subnet=255.255.254.0
gateway
dns
etc. was perfect

but hotspot page again forget to open.
there was no hotspot page displayed. after setting /23

what to do now ? huh. bit tired now.

What is your pool of addresses? Is 192.168.200.1 used by the router? If so then it shouldn't be in the DHCP pool, and it will cause problems.
Did you extend your pool of addresses to be 192.168.200.2-192.168.201.254 to give you a larger amount of addresses to be handed out?

YEa ofcourse in pool i have defined as

pool1=192.168.200.7-192.168.200.253
pool2= 192.168.200.10-192.168.200.250

Why do you have two pools, and why do they overlap? You can have one pool that specifies addresses from 192.168.200.7-192.168.201.254. That could be the other problem, if multiple guests are getting the same IP address. If it doesn't work, please provide the following information.

/ip address print detail
/ip route print detial
/ip pool export
/ip hotspot export
/ip dhcp-server export
/ip firewall export

oh Thx Sir, due to 2 pool i was getting errors. now problem is fixed. let me check for few days i will get any problem then i will let you know here. thx kind sir.

Hotspot ek new ip reserve karta hia

To answer your second part/issue, set the hotspot user profile's Address Pool to none. There is no need to use it in a basic hotspot setup and it will only exhaust your IP pool faster than needed. If someone comes in with misconfiguration IP settings the hotspot will automatically NAT them to an IP that it can use for them.
