[Server-devel] For xs-0.4 setups wanting many clients on the LAN port (AP setups)

[Martin Langhoff]

Working through the network setup, I spotted an opportunity that is
possibly the easiest path - hand dhcp leases in this netblock on eth1:

$ ipcalculator 172.18.0.0/21
Address:   172.18.0.0           10101100.00010010.00000 000.00000000
Netmask:   255.255.248.0 = 21   11111111.11111111.11111 000.00000000
Wildcard:  0.0.7.255            00000000.00000000.00000 111.11111111
=>
Network:   172.18.0.0/21        10101100.00010010.00000 000.00000000
HostMin:   172.18.0.1           10101100.00010010.00000 000.00000001
HostMax:   172.18.7.254         10101100.00010010.00000 111.11111110
Broadcast: 172.18.7.255         10101100.00010010.00000 111.11111111
Hosts/Net: 2046                  Class B, Private Internet

you may have to touch the settings of the interface, and perhaps even
the NAT'ing rules.

cheers,
