A 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.
To include hostnames in DHCP requests:
Procedure
Go to Configuration →
Devices.
The Device
Configuration screen displays. This screen lists wireless
controllers, service platforms and access points within the managed
network.
Select a device from the list
displayed.
The selected device's configuration screen displays.
Expand Profile Overrides
→ Network and select Miscellaneous.
The Miscellaneous configuration screen displays.
Select the Include Hostname in DHCP
Request option to include a hostname in a DHCP lease for a
requesting device. This feature is enabled by default.
Select the DHCP Persistent
Lease option to retain the lease that was last 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.
Click the OK button located
at the bottom right of the screen to save the changes.
Click Reset to revert to the last saved configuration.
