A pool (or range) of IP network addresses and DHCP options can be created for each IP interface
configured. This range of addresses can be made available to DHCP enabled wireless devices
within the network on either a permanent or leased basis. DHCP options are provided to each
DHCP client with a DHCP response and provide DHCP clients information required to access
network resources such as a default gateway, domain name, DNS server and WINS server
configuration. An option exists to identify the vendor and functionality of a DHCP client. The
information is a variable-length string specified by the DHCP client’s vendor.
To define the parameters of a DHCP pool:
1. Select Configuration tab from the web user interface.
Select Services.
Select DHCP Server. The DHCP Pool tab displays by default.

ability Add or Edit a new policy. This option must remain selected to apply the DHCP pool
configuration to the access point profile.
