26. In the lower pane of the screen, type the hexadecimal values of the SLP DA’s
IP address.
Note:
• The Altitude APs use the SLP DA to discover the Summit WM Switch.
• The mobility agents use the SLP DA to discover the mobility manager.
Note: here is no SLP deployment on the enterprise network, the Summit WM Switch
is configured to act as a DA by default. If you put the Summit WM Switch’s IP
address(es) in a DHCP server for Option 78, Altitude APs will interact with the Summit
WM Switch for discovery.
Similarly, the mobility agents will also interact with the Summit WM Switch to discover
the mobility manager.
27. Click Apply, and then click OK.
6.1.2 Configuring DHCP in Red Hat Linux Server
You can configure a DHCP server using the configuration file /etc/
dhcpd.conf.
DHCP also uses the file /var/lib/dhcp/dhcpd.leases to store the client
lease database.
The first step in configuring a DHCP server is to create the configuration file that
stores the network information for the clients. Global options can be declared for
all clients, or options can be declared for each client system.
The configuration file can contain any extra tabs or blank lines for easier
formatting. The keywords are not case-sensitive and lines beginning with a hash
mark (#) are considered comments.
To use the recommended mode, add the following line to the top of the
configuration file:
ddns-update-style interim;
Read the dhcpd.conf man page for details about the different modes.
There are two types of statements in the configuration file:
• Parameters – State how to perform a task, whether to perform a task or what
networking configuration options to use to send to the client.
• Declarations – Describe the topology of the network, describe the clients,
provide addresses for the clients, or apply a group of parameters to a group
of declarations.
