Create DHCP Pool on a Local Lan configuration on Meraki MX

[Karlo_nico23]

Hello Team,

I'm wondering if how can I create a DHCP Pool on a Local Lan Subnet (192.168.0.0/16.)

I want to create a DHCP Pool for 192.168.10.0/24 subnet and 192.168.20.0/24 subnet.

I know it cat be achieved using VLANs but their current setup is their using the whole 192.168.0.0/16.

You should still be fine to create the VLANs as long as DHCP isn't running for the whole 192.168.0.0/16 subnet.

Hello ,

I am avoiding to use  VLAN as they do not want to put up a Segmentation and do not want to have any changes on their core switch.

If you just need a bigger DHCP scope why not use 192.168.10.0/23?  Very simple then.

Hello sir, what i need to to is to create a dhcp pool without creating vlans which is not possible in MX. I think i will be advising them to use VLANs as it is the best practice.

I just wanted to add. If you're setting all MX ports to access mode on a specific VLAN, nobody knows you're using VLANs. The VLAN ids will never exit the MX when configured like that.
