Configuring Topology For A Wm-Ad For Aaa - Extreme Networks Summit WM User Manual

Using a DHCP relay forces the Summit WM Controller to forward DHCP requests to an external DHCP
server on the enterprise network. This function bypasses the local DHCP server for the Summit WM
Controller and allows the enterprise to manage IP address allocation to a WM-AD from its existing
infrastructure.
The range of IP addresses assigned to the wireless device users on this WM-AD should also be
designated on the external DHCP server.
To use an external DHCP server for the WM-AD:
1 From the main menu, click WM Access Domain Configuration. The WM Access Domain
Configuration page is displayed.
2 In the left pane WM Access Domains list, click the WM-AD you want to use DHCP relay for. The
Topology tab is displayed.
3 From the DHCP Option drop-down list, click Use DHCP Relay.
4 In the Gateway box, type the IP address for the WM-AD.
5 In the Mask box, type the appropriate subnet mask for this IP address.
6 In the DHCP Server box, type the IP address of the DHCP server to which DHCP discover and
request messages will be forwarded for clients on this WM-AD. In the case of relay, the Summit WM
Controller does not handle DHCP requests from users, but instead forwards the requests to the
indicated DHCP server.
NOTE
The DHCP Server must be configured to match the WM-AD settings. In particular for Routed WM-AD', the DHCP
server must identify the Summit WM Controller's interface IP as the default Gateway (router) for the subnet.
(Users intending to reach devices outside of the subnet will forward the packets to the default gateway
(controller) for delivery upstream.)
