At first I want to say how now how DHCP and static leases works, but still I am bit confused, so would like if someone will confirm my theories:-)
I want to use mix of static and dynamic leases. My inderstanding is that in Luci in network-interfaces I configure “DHCP server” with start 100 and limit 100.
On “General settings” I have as IP address 192.168.81.1 and mask 255.255.255.0
And now my “theories”:.)
-
IP allocated by DHCP will be between 192.168.100 and 192.168.200, right?
-
My static allocations + IPs I will configure directly on devices should be outside this range, right?
-
In “Network - DHCP and DNS - static leases” should every entry have unique hostname right? I probably made mistake assigning “MyLaptop” hostname to two static entries, as my laptop have two (ethernet + wifi) mac addresses.
-
In Active DHCP leases are shown only static + dynamic leases, but not IP confogured directly on devices. Is that OK if for device with static IP configured directly on device I will create also DHCP reservation?
