Hi Guys,

 

I just enrolled in to the course recently and i was given a task at work to try and connect to my firewall remotely and some of my clients are not connecting to the network due to insufficient IP's.

 

Any suggestion?

Hi Vak

In some cases reducing DHCP lease may help, e.g.: you may set it to 1 day, while the default is 7 days.

If it doesn't help then you need to set a larger subnet for your interface, e.g.: use /23 instead of /24.

Hi AEK,

 

I managed, thank you. I just changed the subnet and reduced the Lease to 14400 seconds.
