If More than One Radio is Co-Located with a DHCP Serving WAG

Typically, only one radio will be configured by a DHCP serving WAG. In the event that more than
one radio is co-located with a DHCP serving WAG, the following describes the performance of the
WAG in this circumstance:
• An A53325 Ethernet Communications Radio always initiates the request for configuration.
If the radio already knows an IP address it would like to have assigned, it will ask the WAG
•
for that IP address; otherwise the radio is not configured and does not offer an IP address
"hint", informing the WAG that it has no preference.
• The WAG will receive the configuration request and will examine the hardware MAC
address of the radio and any IP address "hint" the radio might have offered, and then
check its configured bindings to determine which are in use and which are available for
the radio.
If the radio is re-requesting a binding that has already been issued, the WAG will inform
•
the radio that its binding is still valid. The radio will re-establish their hold on bindings
about once every 10 hours to ensure WAG has the proper configuration information
should the WAG lose power. If this occurs, the radio informs the WAG of its configuration
so that the WAG can mark the associated binding as being assigned.
