Explanation
To configure the access point as a DHCP client, you must
choose one of these options:
Always Use DHCP: The access point uses DHCP after every
reboot whether or not an infinite lease was granted in a
previous session. If this option is not selected, infinite leases
are stored in non-volatile memory and reused after each
reboot. (BOOTP is treated like an infinite lease.)
Use DHCP if IP Address is Zero: (Default.) The access
point uses DHCP only if the IP Address is 0.0.0.0. If you
choose this option, make sure that the IP Address is 0.0.0.0.
Leave this field blank if you want the access point to respond
to offers from any server.
Or enter the name of the DHCP server that this access point
accesses for information. This access point will not respond to
any other DHCP server.
Leave the field blank if you do not want the DHCP client to
include a user class identifier in its requests.
Or enter the DHCP user class identifier as defined in RFC
3004. When this access point acts as a DHCP client, the
string entered in this field is sent in DHCP option 77 in
DHCP request messages.
Leave the field blank if you do not want the DHCP client to
include the vendor class identifier in its requests.
Or enter the DHCP vendor class identifier as defined in RFC
2132. When this access point acts as a DHCP client, the
string entered in this field is sent in DHCP option 60 in
DHCP request messages.
Determines which DHCP servers may be used by access
points and wireless devices:
Use Any Available DHCP Server: Access points and wireless
devices may receive DHCP responses and addresses from any
available DHCP server.
Only Use Access Point DHCP Server: Access points and any
associated wireless devices may receive DHCP responses and
addresses only from an access point DHCP server. Currently,
the DHCP server must be located in the root access point. If
this option is selected and the root access point does not have
a DHCP server enabled, access points and wireless devices will
not be able to receive a DHCP address. You can use this
option, in combination with a DHCP user class, to segment a
network that has an existing DHCP server and an access point
DHCP server.
