Dhcp server for large network
 

Hi,

I need to build a wireless network at one bar. At the beginning it wasn't so difficult task, but when I realized that the number of seats are more than 800 - i understand that it is a challenge in front of me.

So i build one CentOS 6.4 box which will be the gateway and dhcp server for the wireless network. I choose to use Ubiquiti UniFi access points because i think they work nice.

My question here is about the DHCP settings. I look in the documentation on CentOS and RedHat and i suppose the think I should use in my configuration is "shared-network" - at the dhcp.conf file.

Can anyone tell me is there a better solution to achieve DHCP leases for such a large network?

P.S.
Thet SSID of the Wireless is open - so no password

Thanks in advance.
Best regards
Yavor

You can use multiple DHCP servers.
