Global Pool addresses

supertramp4

Hi,
I don't get the relationship between the Global Address Pool Start/End Address, and the actual IP address allocation to the devices.
Currently i have Global Address Pool Start = 172.16.2.2, and End = 172.16.2.250
However all devices are being allocated a 172.16.0.x address ?
Why is this ?

I think this will be because that configuration is not actually valid.
First, the pool start and end need to be network addresses rather than a start and end IP.
Second, you actually need at least 2 pools available as the system will consume the first pool for the wg0 interface.

I suggest you do a quick restart before making this change as I've seen a config like that can get the system into a muddle.
Then edit this setting and put something like 172.16.1.0 for the start and 172.16.2.0 for the end, with a pool prefix of 24.

This should reserve the range 172.16.2.1-172.16.2.254 for your clients.

Hi Chris,

I just came across this post upon checking all settings.

I have set 192.168.249.0 as start address and 192.168.250.254 as end address with a subnet mask of 24. If I change the end address to 192.168.250.0 as you suppose, clients cannot connect and get an error that there is not enough space in the address pool. Is something changed since 2021?

Hi Edgar,
That should have worked but I have seen some issues with changing the pool. This might be better to reach out to us via the support request form as we might need to take a look directly at the database to see what's happening.
