    Controller DHCP servers have a limit to the size of their leases:

    Thanks for replay 

     

    but this only support 7005/7008/7010 series , but my controller is 7205 which is not on the list 

     

    so when in try run ip dhcp increase-lease-limit  it say this command is not supporting on this platform 

     

    thanks

    Do you have a screenshot of what you were trying to do when you got the error and what version of ArubaOS you are running?

    I am version 8.6.0.1

     

    once i run the folloing command 

    ip dhcp pool vlan_90
    default-router 192.168.144.1
    domain-name aruba.local
    network 192.168.144.0 255.255.240.0

     

     i got the error below 


    Failed to add pool vlan_90 which has 4094 addresses. Maximum addresses configurable is 4096 in the config path.
    Currently configured are 506 addresses. You may want to exclude unused address ranges.

    as well i can add dhcp pool with subnet 255.255.255.0 with no issue 

     

    thanks

    It sounds like your limit is 4096 addresses on that platform.  I would use an external dhcp server if you want to provide more addresses.
