Summit WM Technical Reference Guide, Software Version 5.320
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol – Summit WM
Controller and AP Discovery and other Services
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) can be used for several purposes in a network
configuration of a Summit WM Controller. Consider the following diagram:
Figure 1: DHCP in a Summit WM Controller system
This simple setup has the following properties:
● A Summit WM Controller connected to a core network segment (a.b.c.d),
● APs connected on both direct (e.f.g.h) and indirect (i.j.k.l) subnets,
● An existing DHCP server somewhere in the core segment, and
● Wireless users connected to a Summit WM Controller-controlled network (w.x.y.z).
