  • Page 94: Configuring Dhcp Option 43

    DHCP Option 43 is limited to one AP type per DHCP pool. You must configure a separate DHCP pool for each AP type. The Cisco Catalyst 9124AX Series Outdoor AP uses the type-length-value (TLV) format for DHCP Option 43. DHCP servers must be programmed to return the option based on the AP DHCP Vendor Class Identifier (VCI) string (DHCP Option 43).
  • Page 95 10.127.127.2. The type is f1(hex). The length is 2 * 4 = 8 = 08 (hex). The IP addresses translate to 0a7e7e02 and 0a7f7f02. Assembling the string then yields f1080a7e7e020a7f7f02. The resulting Cisco IOS command added to the DHCP scope is option 43 hex f1080a7e7e020a7f7f02.

    The FCC, with its action in ET Docket 96-8, has adopted a safety standard for human exposure to RF electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC-certified equipment. When used with approved Cisco antennas, Cisco Catalyst products meet the uncontrolled environmental limits found in OET-65 and ANSI C95.1, 1991. Proper operation of this radio device according to the instructions in this publication results in user exposure substantially below the FCC recommended limits.
