Configuring the Access Point to Provide DHCP Service
These sections describe how to configure the wireless device to act as a DHCP server:
Setting up the DHCP Server, page5-24
Monitoring and Maintaining the DHCP Server Access Point, page 5-26

Setting up the DHCP Server

By default, access points are configured to receive IP settings from a DHCP server on your network. You
can also configure an access point to act as a DHCP server to assign IP settings to devices on both your
wired and wireless LANs.
Note When you configure the access point as a DHCP server, it assigns IP addresses to devices on its subnet.
The devices communicate with other devices on the subnet but not beyond it. If data needs to be passed
beyond the subnet, you must assign a default router. The IP address of the default router should be on
the same subnet as the access point configured as the DHCP server.
For detailed information on DHCP-related commands and options, refer to the Configuring DHCP
chapter in the Cisco IOS IP Configuration Guide, Release 12.3. Click this URL to browse to the
