Configuring the
Access Point as
a DHCP Server
You can configure the access point as a simple DHCP server that can
provide DHCP server functions for small installations where no other
DHCP server is available. The DHCP server will offer IP addresses to any
DHCP client it hears as long as a pool of unallocated IP addresses is
available. These clients may include other access points, wireless end
devices, wired hosts on the distribution LAN, or wired hosts on
secondary LANs.
