I used subsets in the past but my needs are simpler now. I have a number of devices I need to be static and more that can be dynamic.

As a result the old netgear router VM provided was set up to start the dhcp range at 32 based on 10.0.0.1 subnet. All the fixed ones were allocated below 32 and everything worked out fine.

I set up the SH the same and although all the devices were on the network ok it turns out that you cannot reference the SH as the DNS server for the static devices, which worked ok on the old netgear router.

I had to enter the VM DNS server addresses directly, so I guess the netgear cd3101d (SH) does not offer the same DNS pass through service as the old one did.

I am pretty sure I am now good to go though.
