Feature request: dhcp-lease counter
-
Hi,
would it be possible to add a counter to status:dhcp leases ?
i'm asking primarily because of the growing byod trend at the schools i work. I've had it happen a couple of times that i got reports of "wifi problems' … only to find out a while later, that i ran out of free leases.
Ideally the counter would show: x of y leases in use.
where x=active leases | y=range_end - range_startwould love to see this feature
kind regards,
jeroen

where x=active leases | y=range_end - range_start
Just an aside, the formula should be y = (range_end + 1) - range_start since the range is inclusive, not exclusive. (ie, a range of 192.168.1.10 to 192.168.1.15 is 6 IP addresses, not 5. And it's a bit more complex than that if not using /24 addresses.)
You might have better luck getting this done if you put a bounty on it. Might get a few others to toss in some $ as well.

i know its more complex using >/24 subnets … a while ago i hacked it on the shell with some grep -c mess.
so getting the information if i really want/need it, is not exactly the problem. Getting it visually, all the time either in a widget or on the dhcp status page is what i would like to see.
I figured this would be a nice and not too difficult feature to add to 2.2
