I would like to assign IP addresses in groups like this:-
- static devices, f.ex. printers, file shares, and media servers - 192.168.1.10 - 99
- home users, f.ex. PC's, tablets, mobiles - 192.168.1.100 - 199 (may use file share and media)
- guest users - 192.168.1.200 - 250 (may use printer, but not file share or media)
Currently, I manage the usual DHCP with reserved IP addresses for servers and home users.
Problem is, when guests via ethernet or range extender gets assigned an unwanted IP address.
Right now, I reserve dummy IP address Mac addresses, just to keep guests out of IP range.
Would be much easier, if DHCP had "static" and "dynamic" ranges to hand out from.
