Quick question for the community. I have 40 ASICS I'm wiring up as we speak. I'm searching ISP options. I'm using a TP link 48 port switch.
My question: Can a standard residential ISP be used for this? They say I can have up to 13 IPs (pay extra), but when I go to hipster coffee shops I see 30+ people all on the same wifi. I know all the connected devices are sharing one IP address.
So second question: Can the miners all go through one IP or do I need an individual IP for each miner connected to the 48 port switch?
There are commercial ISP plans available, but they are rather expensive.
I would like to be sure on this before I agree to a yearly contract.
Feedback appreciated, thanks peeps!
You need to understand how DHCP works. Your router can feed dozens of DHCP addresses 192.168.1.? to your miners. You don't need a multitude of public-facing IP addresses. One will suffice.
