Fortigate 60C

[centralwired]

I'm a newbie to the forum. Thanks for your help. I'm trying to understand how many DHCP addresses are being given out by my 60C. Does this mean I'm only giving out 251 addresses per line? Is there a way to format it so it is basically unlimited or at least. 10.0.1-50.4 - 10.0.1-50/255?

On every interface (physical or logical) you can run DHCP server.

It depends on your network subnet. Select bigger subnet to have more IP.

You can implement VLAN if you have layer 2 switches, then for every VLAN you can have DHCP server too.

Hi,

and welcome to the forums.

You can define an address space much larger than just 254.

As an example, specify

netmask: 255.255.0.0

start IP : 10.11.1.2

end IP   : 10.11.254.254

This would support nearly 254x255 = 64.700 addresses.

I'll attach a screenshot, hope you can read it.

I'll try again with a higher res...

So, if my sub is 255.0.0.0, I could do a range of 10.0.1.4-10.0.254.254?

Thanks!

A mask of 255.0.0.0 would allow you to go all the way to 10.255.255.254
