108 Aerohive
To enable the captive web portal to forward DHCP and DNS traffic from unregistered users to its internal servers,
click Configuration > Authentication > Captive Web Portal > New, and select Use internal DHCP and DNS servers
on the HiveAP. By default, the internal DHCP server issues leases with a ten-second lifetime, and if a client with a
nonexistent lease requests a lease renewal, the HiveAP responds by broadcasting a DHCP NAK. You can change the
HiveAP response so that it sends a unicast NAK or ignores the request completely (Keep Silent).

Note: With this captive web portal implementation, you can assign unregistered and registered users to the same
VLAN or to different VLANs.
