Information About DHCP Scopes
Switches have built-in DHCP relay agents. However, when you desire network segments that do not have a
separate DHCP server, the switches can have built-in DHCP scopes that assign IP addresses and subnet masks
to wireless clients. Typically, one switch can have one or more DHCP scopes that each provide a range of IP
addresses.
DHCP scopes are needed for internal DHCP to work. Once DHCP is defined on the switch, you can then
point the primary DHCP server IP address on the management, AP-manager, and dynamic interfaces to the
switch's management interface.
