dhcpd - range parameter
Hi All,

I'm curious about what this community would think about this portion of a dhcpd.conf file:

subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
...
...other parameters/options...
...
range 192.168.1.3 192.168.1.253
range 172.16.0.2 172.16.0.50
}

I tested this and dhcpd did not barf when I put it in. It seems odd that it would allow a range outside of the subnet scope. Anyone use this technique or have experience with it?

Thanks

There is nothing wrong with dhcp accepting it, you can use it in conjunction with some allow/disallow classes settings ie:
Code:
class "allowed-LAN"  { match hardware; }
subclass "allowed-LAN" 1:00:14:BF:E8:75:EE; 
subclass "allowed-LAN"  1:00:30:E2:29:E7:DB;
subnet 192.168.1.0 netmask 255.255.255.0 {
  option routers 192.168.1.1;
  option subnet-mask 255.255.255.0;
  pool {
    range 192.168.1.2 192.168.1.10;
    option domain-name-servers 62.157.101.211, 217.146.139.5, 208.67.222.222, 2
08.67.220.220;  # orsn.net / OpenDNS.com
    option domain-name "allowed-lan";
    ddns-domainname "allowed-lan";
    default-lease-time 345600;
    max-lease-time 691200;
    allow members of "allowed-LAN";
  }
  pool {
    range 172.16.0.12 172.16.0.32;
    option domain-name-servers 192.168.1.1;
    option domain-name "denied-lan";
    ddns-domainname "denied-lan";
    deny members of "allowed-LAN";
    default-lease-time 600;
    max-lease-time 7200;
  }
}

So you're capable of controling whatever others that are not allowed in your net of how they get routed without making alot of jumps through hoops.
