Configuring the Default DHCP Scope for Client IP Assignment
The DHCP server is a built-in server, used for networks in which clients are assigned IP ad-
dress by the VC. You can customize the DHCP pool subnet and address range to provide
simultaneous access to more number of clients. The largest address pool supported is 2048.
The default size of the IP address pool is 512.
Note
When a DHCP server is configured and if the Client IP assignment parameter for an SSID
profile is set to Virtual Controller Assigned, the VC assigns the IP addresses to the WLAN or
the wired clients. By default, the AP automatically determines a suitable DHCP pool for Vir-
tual Controller Assigned networks. APs typically select the 172.31.98.0/23 subnet. If the IP
address of the AP is within the 172.31.98.0/23 subnet, the AP selects the 10.254.98.0/23
subnet. However, this mechanism does not guarantee that it would avoid all possible con-
flicts with the wired network. If your wired network uses either 172.31.98.0/23 or
10.254.98.0/23, and you experience problems with the Virtual Controller Assigned networks,
manually configure the DHCP pool by following the steps described in this section.
You can configure a domain name, DNS server, and DHCP server for client IP assignment
using the SCALANCE W UI or the CLI.
In the SCALANCE W UI
