The help text tries to explain this: "indicates how many addresses will be created for each subnet." So if you have 2 subnets, you will get 1 ip for each subnet, so you get a total of 2 IP addresses reserved for each device. Yes but that creates 2 new subnets for each device and reserves one ip from each subnet. it should be an option to create one subnet for instance 10.10.1.0/24 with one IP from the same range to each device Eg: xx_subnet1_ip1 should be 10.10.1.1 for device 1 and 10.10.1.2 for device 2 . in this way one can deploy more devices in the same L2/L3 network . This is exactly waht VPN rule does but only with VPN server. I was sure that such functionality exists as it is very useful deploying large networks. There are more complcated situations where one would have an DHCP server per each device where for example 3rd octet would identify the device in range and 4th would be used for individual device assignemnt over wifi. But that is just a naming convention. Unfortunately as is I have to asign manually ip's for each device that is not a drama but in order to avoid mistakes automation would help. Anyhow existing VPN automation is just awsome and saves immense amount of work. We currently have 2 built-in subnet division rules: 1. device: the rule is triggered each time a device is created 2. vpn: the rule is triggered each time a device gets a particular VPN-client template assigned I hope this helps.
