How to grant remote access to MySQL for a whole subnet?

Question

I can easily grant access to one IP using this code:

$ mysql -u root -p
Enter password:    
mysql> use mysql    
mysql> GRANT ALL ON *.* to root@\'192.         


        

Answer 1

You would just use '%' as your wildcard like this:

GRANT ALL ON *.* to root@'192.168.1.%' IDENTIFIED BY 'your-root-password';
