bug: DHCP does show up clients correctly with different network mask

[bobyang]

Hi,

I found if I use a different network mask other than 255.255.255.0, the "clients" wont' show up correctly.

it will be great if someone can test it to confirm if this is an issue. I have reset NVRAM few times and this is what I found. thanks!


router : asus ac56u
router: 172.17.0.1 / 255.255.252.0
clients: 172.17.1.1 to 172.17.3.254

try using 192.168.x.x
in case the router firmware or clients don't handle that special range properly.

You may know that this is the private/non-routable range:
172.16.0.0 -- 172.31.255.255

The networkmap service is hardcoded to /24.

The networkmap service is hardcoded to /24.

thank you Merlin! is there any way I can change hardcoded value? or it is inside the code not configuration file?

I am facing another issue: when I click on "reboot", I can see it goes through WAN because I set up wan-start to email me. However, I could not connect into Web or SSH through WAN IP. I need to power off and wait for few seconds and boot to get access again through WAN IP. I will test more, just for your information.

thanks!

It's the code itself, not just a defined value. It only loops through a fixed set of 256 IPs, for starter.
