Setting up Dell Networking W-Instant Automatically
Instant can be configured automatically using DHCP options 60 and 43.
The Dell Networking W-Instant Virtual Controller initiates a DHCP request with the DHCP option 60 string 'Dell
Networking W-Instant.’ If the DHCP server is configured to recognize this option 60 string, it will return an option 43
string containing the organization, AirWave IP, and pre-shared key (Organization is optional). The three pieces of
information should be specified using comma separators without any spaces. For example,
option 43 text "TME-Instant,10.169.240.8,dell123"
The AirWave information in the option 43 will be used to connect to AirWave, if AirWave is not otherwise configured
manually on the Virtual Controller.
The organization string can be hierarchical and define sub-folders for different stores. This supports an architecture that is
required to manage multiple branches or stores where individual stores can be managed by local administrators.
