DHCP Support

The AP can use Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to obtain a
leased IP address and configuration information from a remote server. DHCP
is based on BOOTP protocol and can coexist or interoperate with BOOTP .
Configure the AP to send out a DHCP request searching for a DHCP/BOOTP
server to acquire Kerberos security information, HTML, firmware or network
configuration files when a boot (an AP boot) takes place. Because BOOTP
and DHCP interoperate, whichever responds first becomes the server that
allocates information. When BOOTP is enabled, the access point ACL and
configuration file (cfg.txt) are uploaded.
The AP can be set to only accept replies from DHCP or BOOTP servers or
both (this is the default setting). Setting DHCP to
and DHCP (configure network settings manually). If running both DHCP and
BOOTP , do not select BOOTP Only. BOOTP should only be used when the
server is running BOOTP exclusively. See section 2.3 "Access Point
Installation" on page 56.
The DHCP client automatically sends a DHCP request at an interval specified
by the DHCP server to renew the IP address lease as long as the AP is
running (This parameter is programmed at the DHCP server). For example:
Windows NT servers typically are set for 3 days.
