V-M200 dhcp issue

dlewallen — Wed, 27 Jul 2011 17:43:02 GMT

I have three V-M200's deployed at customer sites. I'm having trouble with wireless users being able to receive an ipaddress from a remote dhcp server. ther doesn't seem to be anywhere to program dhcp forwarding for the wireless users.

No, you can´t configure DHCP forwarding in the V-M200. By default, it relays all the DHCP requests to your network where a DHCP server is supposed to handle them. Therefore, a remote DHCP server is necessary.

Could be an issue in your wired network. You'll want to make sure a wired client on the same VLAN can get DHCP (if not, it's a routing issue). Or the switch the AP is plugged into might be limiting broadcast traffic on that port or vlan. Try setting an IP address in the correct subnet manually on a wireless client and see if you can ping the gateway or anything else.

Good luck
