We are running a 10 minute lease on our 2 /21's with no issues that I know of. Generates a lot of logs though. I wouldn't want to go much shorter. -Neil -- Neil Johnson Network Engineer Information Technology Services The University of Iowa Work: 319 384-0938 Mobile: 319 540-2081 Fax: 319

Garret, Wireless networks tend to be used in bursts. Most of the time they are underutilized. However, we try to build them for worst case scenario situation. Sounds to me like adding another /24 might be your best bet. Also might depend on how users connect. Can anyone come in and

We run 30 minute leases for most of SSIDs, no problems. We saw an unexpected boost in wireless usage this semester though, and had to go from /22 networks to /20 to accommodate the new users and leave room for expansion. Heath Garrett Harmon wrote: We're running into some issues at the ramp

Philippe, We saw improvement moving from 1 hour to 30 minutes with no foreseen adverse affects. We are testing a few subnets on 15 minute leases, as it would be more practical to avoid any waste of leases for the 5 minute email/facebook check on an iPhone/iPod-Touch. I'll let you know if

Not sure if this is the case for anyone, but one of the issues we ran into with lease shortages was related to maybe on oversight on our part. The ISC dhcp has a max-lease-time and a default-lease-time value. While wireless was set to hand out 30-minute leases (default- lease-time),
