will connected users be affected if I increase DHCP range?

Hey all,

 

I have FortiGate 80E firewall (v7.0.7 build0367) with DHCP range 192.168.9.100-192.168.8.250

 

I'd like to add 25 slots to that range by increasing the starting range from 192.168.9.100 to 192.168.9.75).

 

My question: Can I make this DHCP change in real time? Or will it affect DHCP users, static IP users, VPN users, and my access to the local FortiGate portal?

Nope, it will not affect connected users. It is a safe change to make.
