One way to conserve IP space is to route a subnet to each tower rather than each AP. Have every AP plugged into a switch at the tower, and then into a router before it leaves that tower. That way you can use up the entire subnet before adding another. ;) Travis Microserv Alan Bryant wrote:

We use 10./8 for the network. Then, route single publics out to the end points (yes, the 10's show up in public trace routes and time out, shoot me!) PPPoE would take care of that and was the plan to move to. MT has not implemented pppoe forwarding as yet, so we have a choice of having many
