Is there a way that once a person has logged out of the Captive Portal,
it will release the DHCP address?

Thanks

Does anyone have a recommendation for the DHCP default lease time?  We
have a Captive Portal Idle Timeout of 30 minutes and a Hard timeout of
720 minutes.  Our DHCP lease is 43300 seconds or a little more than 12
hours.

We do want our students to log in a bunch of times, but we do not want
them to keep an IP address for hours after they stop using it.

We have been told to change make the default lease time more than our
captive portal session.  What would happen if we change the default
lease time on the DHCP server to 7200 second and left the rest?  How
would this affect the users?

Thanks

Dwane

Hard to say, depends on how this is configured in other parts of your
network. If you expect to use a /21, your interface has to be a part
of that /21 network. You can't assign IPs that are out of the local
subnet, which is what you were trying to do. If your entire internal
network is private and everything outside that network is public you
won't need to do anything but change your internal interface's subnet.
If you have private IP space routed to you from other parts of your
campus network and do not use NAT, you'll need to make sure the
routing is configured appropriately on the WAN side network.
