The following is a DHCP Option 43 configuration example on a Windows 2003 Enterprise DHCP server for use with Cisco Catalyst lightweight access points. For other DHCP server implementations, see the product documentation for configuring DHCP Option 43. In Option 43, you should use the IP address of the controller management interface. - Page 46 DHCP Option 43 is limited to one access point type per DHCP pool. You must configure a separate DHCP pool for each access point type. The Cisco CW9166D1 access point uses the type-length-value (TLV) format for DHCP Option 43. DHCP servers must be programmed to return the option based on the access point DHCP Vendor Class Identifier (VCI) string (DHCP Option 43).
