Configuring WLANs
Step 6
On the General tab, choose the interface for which you configured a primary DHCP server to be used
with this WLAN from the
Interface
drop-down box.
Step 7
Click the
Advanced
tab to open the WLANs > Edit (Advanced) page.
Step 8
If you want to define a DHCP server on the WLAN that will override the DHCP server address on the
interface assigned to the WLAN, check the
DHCP Server Override
check box and enter the IP address
of the desired DHCP server in the
DHCP Server IP Addr
edit box. The default value for the check box
is disabled.
Note
The preferred method for configuring DHCP is to use the primary DHCP address assigned to a
particular interface instead of the DHCP server override.
Step 9
If you want to require all clients to obtain their IP addresses from a DHCP server, check the
DHCP Addr.
Assignment Required
check box. When this feature is enabled, any client with a static IP address is not
allowed on the network. The default value is disabled.

Using the CLI to Configure DHCP
Follow these steps to configure DHCP using the CLI.
Step 1
Follow the instructions in the
“Using the GUI to Configure the Management, AP-Manager, Virtual, and
Service-Port Interfaces” section on page 3-11
or
“Using the GUI to Configure Dynamic Interfaces”
to configure a primary DHCP server for a management, AP-manager, or dynamic
interface that will be assigned to the WLAN.
Step 2
To disable the WLAN, enter this command:
config wlan disable
wlan_id
Step 3
To specify the interface for which you configured a primary DHCP server to be used with this WLAN,
enter this command:
config wlan interface
wlan_id
interface_name
Step 4
If you want to define a DHCP server on the WLAN that will override the DHCP server address on the
interface assigned to the WLAN, enter this command:
config wlan
dhcp_server
wlan_id dhcp_server_ip_address
Note
The preferred method for configuring DHCP is to use the primary DHCP address assigned to a
particular interface instead of the DHCP server override. If you enable the override, you can use
the
show wlan
command to verify that the DHCP server has been assigned to the WLAN.
Step 5
To re-enable the WLAN, enter this command:
config wlan enable
wlan_id
