Configuring Multiple Controllers Using DHCP 43 and DHCP 60
Configuring the AP Role (CLI)
To configure the role of a mesh access point using the CLI, enter the following command:
config ap role {rootAP | meshAP} Cisco_AP
Configuring Multiple Controllers Using DHCP 43 and DHCP 60
To configure DHCP Option 43 and 60 for mesh access points 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 the default router and name server. The commands
used to create a DHCP pool are 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 AP1520
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, use one of the values below. The quotation marks must be included.
For Cisco 1550 series access points, enter "Cisco AP c1550"
For Cisco 1520 series access points, enter "Cisco AP c1520"
For Cisco 1240 series access points, enter "Cisco AP c1240"
For Cisco 1130 series access points, enter "Cisco AP c1130"
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:
Type + Length + Value
Type is always f1(hex). Length is the number of controller management IP addresses times 4 in hex. Value is the IP
address of the controller listed sequentially in hex.
