IP address range

[Glenn Satchell]

Hi Jason

Try this:

subnet 172.16.0.0 netmask 255.255.0.0 {
     option routers 172.16.0.1;
     range 172.16.0.2 172.16.0.254;
}

The range should not include any addresses that are used by devices not
being served by dhcp.

man pages are most likely installed on the system, so:

% man dhcpd.conf
...
     The subnet statement

      subnet subnet-number netmask netmask {
        [ parameters ]
        [ declarations ]
      }
...
     The subnet-number should be an IP  address  or  domain  name
     which  resolves  to  the  subnet  number of the subnet being
     described.   The netmask should be an IP address  or  domain
     name  which  resolves to the subnet mask of the subnet being
     described.   The subnet number, together with  the  netmask,
     are  sufficient to determine whether any given IP address is
     on the specified subnet.

HTH
