Table 15. DHCP Server Parameter Descriptions (Continued)

Parameter

Explanation

 

 

 

 

DHCP User Class

Leave the field blank if you want this access point

 

to respond to requests from any client.

 

Or enter the DHCP user class identifier as

 

defined in RFC 3004. When this access point

 

acts as a DHCP server, the access point offers

 

addresses to client requests only when the client

 

requests contain a matching user class identifier.

 

 

DHCP Vendor

Leave the field blank if you want this access point

Class

to respond to requests from any client.

 

Or enter the DHCP vendor class identifier as

 

defined in RFC 2132. When this access point

 

acts as a DHCP server, the access point offers

 

addresses to client requests only when the client

 

requests contains a matching vendor class

 

identifier.

 

 

DHCP for Access

Determines which DHCP servers may be used by

Point Network

access points and wireless devices:

 

Use Any Available DHCP Server: Access points

 

and wireless devices may receive DHCP

 

responses and addresses from any available

 

DHCP server.

 

Only Use Access Point DHCP Server: Access

 

points and any associated wireless devices may

 

receive DHCP responses and addresses only

 

from an access point DHCP server. Currently, the

 

DHCP server must be located in the root access

 

point. If this option is selected and the root

 

access point does not have a DHCP server

 

enabled, access points and wireless devices will

 

not be able to receive a DHCP address. You can

 

use this option, in combination with a DHCP user

 

class, to segment a network that has an existing

 

DHCP server and an access point DHCP server.
