Usage Guidelines

Use this command to configure a DHCP pool. The DHCP server is a built-in server, used for networks in which clients are assigned IP address by the Virtual Controller. You can customize the DHCP pool subnet and address range to provide simultaneous access to more number of clients. The pool can support up to 2048 addresses. The default size of the IP address pool is 512. When an IAP receives a DHCP request from a client, it examines the origin of the request to determine if it a response must be sent. If the IP address of the VLAN matches a configured DHCP pool, the IAP answers the request.

Example

The following command configures a DHCP pool:

(Instant AP)(config)# ip dhcp pool

(Instant AP)(DHCP)# domain-name example.com

(Instant AP)(DHCP)# dns-server 192.0.2.1

(Instant AP)(DHCP)# lease-time 20

(Instant AP)(DHCP)# subnet 192.0.2.0

(Instant AP)(DHCP)# subnet-mask 255.255.255.0

(Instant AP)(DHCP)# end

(Instant AP)# commit apply
