Table 14. DHCP Client Parameter Descriptions

Parameter	Explanation
DHCP Mode	To configure the access point as a DHCP client,
	you must choose one of these options:
	Always Use DHCP: The access point uses DHCP
	after every reboot whether or not an infinite lease
	was granted in a previous session. If this option is
	not selected, infinite leases are stored in non-
	volatile memory and reused after each reboot.
	(BOOTP is treated like an infinite lease.)
	Use DHCP if IP Address is Zero: (Default.) The
	access point uses DHCP only if the IP Address is
	0.0.0.0. If you choose this option, make sure that
	the IP Address is 0.0.0.0.
DHCP Server	Leave this field blank if you want the access point
Name	to respond to offers from any server.
	Or enter the name of the DHCP server that this
	access point accesses for information. This
	access point will not respond to any other DHCP
	server.
DHCP User Class	Leave the field blank if you do not want the DHCP
	client to include a user class identifier in its
	requests.
	Or enter the DHCP user class identifier as
	defined in RFC 3004. When this access point
	acts as a DHCP client, the string entered in this
	field is sent in DHCP option 77 in DHCP request
	messages.
DHCP Vendor	Leave the field blank if you do not want the DHCP
Class	client to include the vendor class identifier in its
	requests.
	Or enter the DHCP vendor class identifier as
	defined in RFC 2132. When this access point
	acts as a DHCP client, the string entered in this
	field is sent in DHCP option 60 in DHCP request
	messages.
