Title: How to make DHCP pool IPs access static assigned IPs outside the pool?
Post by: tavi on November 16, 2025, 03:27:12 PM

Hi,

I have a very simple setup. On LAN, DHCP service giving IPs within 192.168.100.101 - 192.168.100.254 range.

Outside, I have static assigned IPs for a lot of MACs. The range for these static IPs is between 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.11.254.

LAN0 IP 192.168.0.1

I cannot from DHCP pool to outside and vice versa.

Is there a solution to this problem, other than extending the pool?

What is the netmask set of this LAN IP of 192.168.0.1?

Is the netmask and gateway that the DHCP service hands out correct? Or is it /24?
