    Shawn Jackman (Jack) CWNE#54 is a personal friend and has been a mentor to me for many years.  I've had the pleasure and opportunity to work with Jack for 4 years. Jack is a great teacher who takes complex 802.11 standards and breaks them down so almost anyone can understand the concept at hand. I'm excited for you brother. Great job and job well done! Put another notch in the belt!

Autonomous: Configure a Cisco AP to provide DHCP Services

 

 

In real world deployments you wouldn't likely use a Cisco AP as the DHCP server. But, during deployments I've used it for temporary setups. Lets step through the setup process

In this senerio we will set up a class C 192.168.1.0 DHCP Scope with IP exclusions and add additional info like the gateway and DNS server information.

1. Lets start with the client exclusion. We will exclude the following ranges, so that the AP doesn't assign these specific addresses out: 

192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.10
192.168.1.200 - 192.168.1.254 

ap#config t
ap(config)#ip dhcp excluded-address 192.168.1.1 192.168.1.10
ap(config)#ip dhcp excluded-address 192.168.1.200 192.168.1.254

 

2. Next, we will name the DHCP Scope (pool) and set the network:

ap(config)#ip dhcp pool WIRELESS
ap(dhcp-config)#network 192.168.1.0

3. Next, we will set the LEASE time for the addresses (3 days,4 hours, 20 min) , setup the gateway and DNS:

ap(dhcp-config)#lease 3 4 20
ap(dhcp-config)#default-router 192.168.1.1
ap(dhcp-config)#dns-server 192.168.1.250

4. Next, we connect a wired laptop to the switch on the VLAN and see the results: 
(Note this will also hand out Wireless DHCP as well)
