Enforcing DHCP
Starting from Instant 6.4.3.4-4.2.1.0, you can configure a WLAN SSID profile to enforce DHCP on W-IAP
clients.
When DHCP is enforced:
l
A layer-2 user entry is created when a client associates with a W-IAP.
l
The client DHCP state and IP address are tracked.
l
When the client obtains an IP address from DHCP, the DHCP state changes to complete.
l
If the DHCP state is complete, a layer-3 user entry is created.
l
When a client roams between the W-IAPs, the DHCP state and the client IP address will be synchronized with
the new W-IAP.
By default, enforcing DHCP feature is disabled.
To enforce DHCP:
(Instant AP)(config)# wlan ssid-profile <name>
(Instant AP)(SSID Profile <name>)# enforce-dhcp
(Instant AP)(SSID Profile <name>)# end
(Instant AP)# commit apply
