range

Name

range - configure a range of IP address to be leased

Description

The range plugin allows to dynamically lease IP addresses to requesting clients. Each client requesting will be assigned an IP address from one of the configured ranges. If the client has already been assigned an address (i.e. in RENEWING state) it will get the very same address assigned. If the range plugin is not able to find a suitable address the next plugin will be called. Typically, the range plugin should be one of the last plugins used. This plugin may be specified multiple times per DHCP server block.

Syntax

range START_IP END_IP

• START_IP is the (inclusive) start IP of the range (like 192.168.0.1)
• END_IP is the (inclusive) end IP of the range (like 192.168.0.100)

Examples

The following example allows dynamic clients to receive IP addresses from two different pools:

192.168.0.1/24 {
    range 192.168.0.100 192.168.0.150
    range 192.168.0.200 192.168.0.250
}
