IP address range

[Jason Penton]

Hi Glen,

the problem is that I have no control over this device and the requests that
arrive at dhcpd are from its 10.31.3 address and I get the following:

DHCPDISCOVER from 00:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX via 10.31.3.50: network 10.31.3.0/24: no
free leases

Is there anything I can do on my side?

I currently have it working using a subnet 0.0.0.0 netmask 0.0.0.0 and then
issuing 172.16.0.0/16 addresses, but I dont like this solution at all! :D

Cheers
Jason
