Recommended Configuration

Set up static reservations for the AP's two interfaces on an external DHCP server so that all AP

IP addresses can be centrally controlled and changed if necessary. Although these addresses are

set via a DHCP server, it is important to note that the AP will not attempt to renew these

addresses unless the AP is rebooted. In general, the APs GMAC and WMAC interfaces will not

change once the network design has been completed.

In order to set the CSM WAN IP addresses, either the internal DHCP server of the AP can be

used, or, the AP can act as a DHCP relay agent and relay DHCP requests to the external DHCP

server.

If the internal DHCP server is used, the AP can either handout addresses from a general pool, or

the AP can be configured to use static reservations based on the MAC address of the requesting

CSM.

When the external DHCP server is used, setup the server so that a unique address pool is

allocated for each AP. As previously mentioned, one address in each pool should be statically

reserved for each WMAC interface of the AP. When the AP forwards the DHCP request of the

CSM to the DHCP server, it will set the gateway address in the request message to the WMAC IP

address. The DHCP server will use the gateway address to determine which of its configured IP

pools to use in order to service this request. The end result is that the CSMs will receive the

DHCP IP addresses on the same subnet as the WMAC IP address of the AP where they are

registered.
