Hello- I'm looking for anyone that can send me some suggestions based =
on experience with a wireless network.
My problem:
It is possible with our current wireless network that a situation could =
arise where the IP address pool for a specific service location could be =
exhausted due to Windows clients acquiring an IP address without being =
authenticated. Thus, if we have a large event taking place in-market, =
the IP addresses would be assigned and reassigned out (on a one-hour =
lease) to each Windows client connected to the network, possibly quickly =
exhausting a small IP address pool if enough clients were simultaneously =
up and connected.=20
Does anyone have a good suggestion on how to avoid this from happening =
(aside from over assigning and wasting IP addresses or ignoring the =
problem)? =20
Thank you for your time
