The following is a high-level description of the steps required to configure the DHCP server on the remote AP. The
steps assume you have already created the virtual AP profile, AAA profile, SSID profile, and other settings for your
remote AP operation (for information about the backup configuration, see Configuring Fallback Mode on page 737).
In the WebUI
1. Navigate to the Configuration > Wireless > AP Configuration page.
2. Select either the AP Group or AP Specific tab. Click Edit for the AP group or AP name.
3. Under Profiles, select AP to display the AP profiles.
4. Select the AP system profile you want to modify.
5. Under Profile Details:
a. At the LMS IP field, enter the LMS IP address.
b. At the Master controller IP address field, enter the master controller IP address.
c. At the Remote-AP DHCP Server VLAN field, enter the VLAN ID of the backup configuration virtual AP
VLAN.
d. At the Remote-AP DHCP Server ID field, enter the IP address for the DHCP server.
e. At the Remote-AP DHCP Default Router field, enter the IP address for the default DHCP router.
f. At the Remote-AP DHCP DNS Server list, enter an IP address in the field to right and click Add. You can
add multiple IP addresses the same way. To delete an IP address, select an IP address from the list and
click Delete.
g. Specify the DHCP IP address pool. This configures the pool of IP addresses from which the remote AP
uses to assign IP addresses.
- At the Remote-AP DHCP Pool Start field, enter the first IP address of the pool.
- At the Remote-AP-DHCP Pool End field, enter the last IP address of the pool.
- At the Remote-AP-DHCP Pool Netmask field, enter the netmask.
h. At the Remote-AP DHCP Lease Time field, specify the amount of time the IP address is valid.
6. Click Apply.
7. Under Profiles, select Wireless LAN, then Virtual AP, then the virtual AP profile you want to configure.
8. Under Profile Details, at the VLAN drop-list, select the VLAN ID of the remote AP DHCP VLAN, click the left
arrow to move the VLAN ID to the VLAN field, and click Apply.
