Large IP Pool

[faktas]

Hello,

We are in a project of deploying 10.000 clients into the field. We want to assign a B class IP Pool(178.17.X.X) for this group of users. But as far as I know, CS ACS Win can support an IP Pool of whole C Class at most. Is there a configuration option or a workaround to solve this issue?

Yes, ACS only allows a C-class subnet to be added in as a pool of addresses. If you want to add an entire B-class you'd have to add multiple pools, something like the following:

ippool0 from 178.18.0.1-178.18.0.254

ippool1 from 178.18.1.1-178.18.1.254

ippool2 from 178.18.2.1-178.18.2.254

.....

ippool254 from 178.18.254.1-178.18.254.254

ippool255 from 178.18.255.1-178.18.255.254

Then under the ACS group you would move all these pools into the Selected Pools column, so ACS will assign the IP address out of a first available pool.
