To avoid a single point of failure, you can configure more than one access
point to be a DHCP server; however, the access points do not share
DHCP client databases. You should configure each DHCP server with a
different address pool from which to allocate client IP addresses.
To configure the access point as a DHCP server
1. From the menu, click TCP/IP Settings. The TCP/IP Settings screen
appears.
2. Verify that the IP Address field, IP Subnet Mask field, and IP Router
field are configured. For help, see “Configuring the TCP/IP Settings”
on page 66.
3. Configure the DHCP parameters to make this access point a DHCP
server. For help, see the next table.
