Configuring the AP to Serve Public IP Addresses
If you have a pool of public IP addresses and do not want the AP to perform NAT for subscribers who have DHCP
client support enabled, follow these steps (note that this is not a typical configuration for the device):
1. Login to the Web interface.
2. Click Configure > Network > DHCP Server.
3. Set the DHCP Server Type to public.
4. Set the DHCP Server IP Address to the AP’s IP address.
5. Configure the DHCP Server Subnet Mask and the range of IP addresses as required by your network.
6. Edit the Lease Time, if necessary.
7. Click OK.
8. Reboot the AP.
Disabling the AP’s DHCP Server
If you want a DHCP server other than the AP to assign IP addresses to your subscribers, you can disable the AP’s
DHCP Server functionality and configure the DHCP Relay Server settings (which specify the DHCP server you want to
use). Follow these steps:
1. Login to the Web interface.
2. Click Configure > Network > DHCP Server.
3. Remove the check mark from the Enable DHCP Server box.
4. Place a check mark in the Enable DHCP Relay box.
•The Enable DHCP IP Upsell box should remain unchecked.
