Overview
Overview
This section contains a DHCP Option 43 configuration example on a Windows 2003 Enterprise DHCP
server for use with lightweight access points. For other DHCP server implementations, consult their
product documentation for configuring DHCP Option 43. In Option 43, you should use the IP address
of the controller management interface.
DHCP Option 43 is limited to one access point type per DHCP pool. You must configure a separate
Note
DHCP pool for each access point type.
Cisco Aironet 1000 series and 1500 series lightweight access points use a comma-separated string
format for DHCP Option 43. Other Cisco Aironet access points use the type-length-value (TLV) format
for DHCP Option 43. DHCP servers must be programmed to return the option based on the access point's
DHCP Vendor Class Identifier (VCI) string (DHCP Option 60). The VCI strings for Cisco access points
capable of operating in lightweight mode are listed in
