DHCP & NAT

In this section:

  1. AP Based DHCP or NAT
  2. Network Topology
    Access Points (APs) can be deployed in three types of topologies.
  3. Hierarchical Network Topology
    Hierarchical network topology along with DHCP or NAT runs on single and multiple APs.
  4. Configuring AP-based DHCP Service Settings
    Using DHCP service settings, configure an AP to assign private IP addresses to Wi-Fi clients and wired clients without the need for a separate DHCP server (router).
  5. Creating an AP DHCP Pool
    Creating a DHCP pool is necessary for assigning IP addresses to clients. Multiple address pools can be created and assigned to APs that are running DHCP services. When a client is then connected to the wireless network, it assigns an IP address from the DHCP pool(s) as specified.
  6. Configuring DHCP Server or NAT Router with Mesh Options
    DHCP or NAT functionality on controller managed APs and DPs (data planes) allows customers to reduce costs and complexity by removing the need for DHCP server or NAT router to provide IP addresses to clients.
