clients, so that they are assigned
statically. You can configure up to four
different ranges of IP addresses
l For Distributed,L2 mode, ensure
that all IP ranges are in the same
subnet as the default router. On

IP address are in the same subnet
as the default router and subnet
mask. The configured IP range is
divided into blocks based on the
configured client count.

configure any discontiguous IP
ranges. The configured IP range is
divided into multiple IP subnets that
are sufficient to accommodate the
configured client count.
