This method describes how to set up a DHCP server to send option 43 with Dell PowerConnect
W-AirWave information to DellW-InstantW-IAP. This section assumes that option 43 is sent
per scope because option 60 is being shared by other devices as well.
NOTE: This scope should be specific to Instant, and the PXE devices that use options 60 and
43 should not connect to the subnet defined by this scope. This is because you can specify
only one option 43 for a scope, and if other devices that use option 43 connect to this subnet,
they are presented with Instant-specific information.
1. In server 2008, navigate to Server Manager > Roles > DHCP Server > Domain DHCP
Server > IPv4.
2. Select a scope (subnet). Scope (10.169.145.0)145 is selected in the example shown in the
figure below.
3. Right click and select Advanced, and then specify the following options:
n Vendor class— DHCP Standard Options
n User class— Default User Class
n Available options— Select 043 Vendor-Specific Info
n String Value— DellInstantAP, tme-store4, 10.169.240.8, Dell123 (which is the AP
description, organization string, Dell PowerConnect W-AirWave IP address, Pre-shared key
for Dell PowerConnect W-AirWave)
Figure 157 - Vendor Specific DHCP options
Upon completion, the W-IAP shows up as a new device in Dell PowerConnect W-AirWave, and a
new group called tme-store4 is created. Navigate to APs/Devices > New > Group to view this
group.
