How many DHCP Pool Configuration can I create?

[min-seok]

I get an error after 16th.
Can not you create it anymore?

Hi mim-Seok and DaneA.

Correct our M4100 are limited to 16 pools , you can check it in our datasheet:

http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/datasheet/en/M4100.pdf

If you need more than 16 pools I would recommend our M4300 where the actual limit is 256.

Hi min-seok,

Welcome to the community! 🙂 

Kindly answer the questions below:

a. What does the exact error message say? It would be best that you post a screenshot of the error message.

b. Have you tried to reboot the M4100-26G switch then try again to create the 16th DHCP pool?

c. What is the current firmware version of the M4100-26G switch?

@min-seok,

Thanks for the response.  Let me inquire your concern if this is a limitation or not on the M4100-26G switch and I'll get back to you one I got a feedback.
