I need to add a new range of Dynamic IP addresses

LarryKLarryK Newbie ✭

Hi, I'm running out of available IP addresses for iPads, laptops, etc.

I currently have two ranges: 172.16.54.10 - 254 used for Dynamic and 172.16.55.1-254 reserved for Static.

The gateway if it matters is 172.16.54.1 .

Can I create a new Dynamic range such as 172.16.53.10-254 or 172.16.54.10-254 ? Which range would be preferred or better?

Thanks, Larry

    Read up on subnets and CIDR.

    What subnet mask are you currently using?

    subnet 255.255.254.0

    Do your homework. 172.16.53.10-254 isn't even in your CIDR range.

    'Preferred or better' are both subjective, it's up to you to design and maintain the network so its your preference. But using something outside your CIDR range is technically impossible.
