REVIEW DRAFT—CISCO CONFIDENTIAL
Note DHCP Option 43 is limited to one access point type per DHCP pool. You must configure a
separate DHCP pool for each access point type.
The 1140 series access point uses the type-length-value (TLV) format for DHCP Option 43. DHCP
servers must be programmed to return the option based on the access point’s DHCP Vendor Class
Identifier (VCI) string (DHCP Option 60). The VCI string for the 1140 series access point is
TBD
The format of the TLV block is listed below:
• Type: 0xf1 (decimal 241)
• Length: Number of controller IP addresses * 4
• Value: List of WLC management interfaces
To configure DHCP Option 43 for the 1140 series access point in the embedded Cisco IOS DHCP server,
follow these steps:
Step 1 Enter configuration mode at the Cisco IOS CLI.
Step 2 Create the DHCP pool, including the necessary parameters such as default router and name
server. A DHCP scope example is as follows:
ip dhcp pool <pool name>
network <IP Network> <Netmask>
default-router <Default router>
dns-server <DNS Server>
Where:
<pool name> is the name of the DHCP pool, such as AP1140
<IP Network> is the network IP address where the controller resides, such as
10.0.15.1
<Netmask> is the subnet mask, such as 255.255.255.0
<Default router> is the IP address of the default router, such as 10.0.0.1
<DNS Server> is the IP address of the DNS server, such as 10.0.10.2
Step 3 Add the option 60 line using the following syntax:
option 60 ascii “
VCI string
”
For the
VCI string
, “TBD”. The quotation marks must be included.
Step 4 Add the option 43 line using the following syntax:
option 43 hex <
hex string
>
The hex string is assembled by concatenating the TLV values shown below:
