An access point profile can include a hostname within a DHCP lease for a requesting
device. This helps an administrator track the leased DHCP IP address by hostname for
the supported device profile. When numerous DHCP leases are assigned, an
administrator can better track the leases when hostnames are used instead of
devices. At the device level, this setting can be overridden.
To override an access point profile's miscellaneous
settings:
Procedure
Go to Configuration →
Devices → Device Overrides.
The Device
Overrides screen displays. This screen lists devices within
the managed network.
Select an access point.
The selected access point's configuration menu displays.
Expand Profile Overrides
→ Network and select Miscellaneous.
In the DHCP Settings
field, set the following parameters:
Include Hostname in DHCP Request
Select to enable the inclusion of hostname in a DHCP
lease for a requesting device. This feature is enabled
by default.
DHCP Persistent Lease
Select to enable retention of the last-used lease (used
by the access point) if the access point‘s DHCP server
resource were to become unavailable. This feature is
enabled by default.
In the LACP System
Priority field, select the LACP System Priority
option and use the associated spinner control to set this access
point's priority in the LACP negotiation process.
Use to configure an LACP-enabled peer‘s system priority value. LACP
(Link Aggregation Control Protocol) uses this system
priority value along with the peer‘s MAC address to form the system ID. In a
LAG (Link Aggregation Group), the peer with the lower system ID
initiates LACP negotiations with another peer. In scenarios, where both
peers have the same system-priority value assigned, the peer with the lower
MAC gets precedence.
Select OK to save the
miscellaneous configuration changes.
Select Reset to revert to the last saved configuration.
