5 Configuring DHCP, DNS and IAS services
This chapter describes how to configure DHCP, DNS and IAS services on Windows 2003 Server. In
addition, the chapter explains how to configure DHCP service on a Linux-based server.
Note that your Windows 2003 or Linux server may have a different configuration process than what is
described here. You must refer to your manufacturers document to know the configuration process that
is specific to your server.
The configuration processes described in this chapter should be used as examples.
The topics in this chapter are organized as follows:
DHCP service configuration
IAS service configuration
DNS service configuration
DHCP service configuration
Before you can configure the DHCP service, you must install it on the server. DHCP is not installed by
default during a typical installation of Windows Standard Server 2003 or Windows Enterprise Server
2003. You can install DHCP either during the initial installation of Windows Server 2003 or after the
initial installation is completed.
You may also include 078 SLP DA Option. The 078 SLP DA Option is not included by default during a
typical installation of DHCP service.
You may visit

Windows 2003.
The following section describes how to configure DHCP for Summit WM Wireless LAN (WLAN)
Solution.
Configuring DHCP in Windows 2003 Server
You must also enable 078 SLP DA Option for every scope you define. A scope is a collection of IP
addresses meant to be distributed by the DHCP server to the client devices on a subnet.
The SLP DA is used by:
The Wireless APs to discover the Summit WM Controller.
The mobility agents to discover the mobility manager.
To configure DHCP in Window 2003 Server:
1 Click Start, point to Administrative Tool, and then click DHCP.
2 In the console tree, right-click the DHCP server on which you want to create the new DHCP scope,
and then click New Scope.
