That is not really done with DHCP. It is generally done with other software. That is a huge number of addresses to put in DHCP. I am not really sure how to respond since there are all kinds of issues running a huge network. You would generally have 100's of ap connected if you were going to run that many devices.

Thanks for your prompt response. Generally only 30 to 40 personal can connect at a time and max 100 users per day on different timing. one AP is enough I need only connecting quantity only.

So why does can you not just use the more standard DHCP settings with one of the default subnets. If you set the dhcp timeout to a couple of hours you should not run out of ip addresses.

well the thing is... 10.10.10.xx is a subnet.... and xx represent 254 possible addresses on that subnet. so if you want 10,000 addresses (max possible users)
you will need 40 subnets (39.3 and you have some change open/free)

good luck programming that. hope you using linux.

What defines a "user"? Is the second connection by a laptop, 50 days after the first connection a new "user"? Is it 10,000 unique devices? Is it 10,000 unique people? Is it just 10,000 connections?

Use a /18, 6000 spare addresses. Good luck! Lol

Except the OP doesn't want any "spare" addresses. He wants the 10,001 "user" to fail. Although your recommendation would allow more than 10,000 DHCP addresses to be handed out, it wouldn't fail the 10,001 user (whatever a user is).
