      Hi Guys

      We have a pool of DHCP starting 10.0.0.2 to 10.0.0.200 (I changed today 250)

      Once the pool arrives to .200, it does not give anymore DHCP adress whereas there are a lot of IP adress in "Expired" mode.

      Why does the "Expired" adress are not removing…? Do we forget an option?

      I checked the logs, nothing inside. No error in DHCP logs. When I am with my computer on the site, I connect through wifi, I see the network but nothing happens. DHCP does not answer....

      To fix the problem today, we have to :

      • Delete the DHCP leases
      • Restart the DHCP service

      Attached 2 pictures

      Tx so much for your help

      Vincent

          Captive portal has no direct relationship to DHCP leases. DHCP leases are available to be re-issued once the DHCP lease time has expired. Your lease time's too long, and/or your pool size too small.
