If you have Airwave one of the may "dials" is how long is your average connection.
Mine is 28 minutes. I set my lease time for WiFi for 1 hour. I have a /19, which might be overkill, but with AD based DNS, I have poor insight into the things that go bump in the night (for DNS) If Cisco, I think there was a Prime option for this data too.... -----Original Message----- From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv <WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU> On Behalf Of Curtis K. Larsen Sent: Monday, May 7, 2018 7:17 PM To: WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] DHCP Lease Times Hello, I'm curious to see what process/algorithm others use when determining DHCP lease times for your Wi-Fi networks. Assuming plenty of IP addresses, what DHCP lease time is ideal to assign to clients in a WLAN with 90,000 unique clients/day, where avg. user spends 3hrs connected , but some (maybe 20%) go several days, Keep in mind that 90% are the same user/device every day. What level of DHCP pool utilization do you think is best? Have you found any industry documentation on this? Thanks in advance. -Curtis ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/discuss. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/discuss.
