AP DHCP - Networks

A controller, service platform or access point's DHCP server maintains a pool of IP addresses and client configuration parameters (default gateway, domain name, name servers, etc). On receiving a valid client request, the DHCP server assigns an IP address, a lease (the validity of time), and other IP configuration parameters to a client on an administrator assigned lease basis.

The Networks screen provides network pool information, such as the subnet for the addresses you want to lease from the pool, the pool name, used addresses and the total number of addresses available for lease to a requesting client.

To view the DHCP Server's Networks information:

1. Select the Statistics menu from the Web UI.
2. Expand the System node from the navigation pane (on the left-hand side of the screen). The System node expands to display the RF Domains created within the managed network.
3. Expand an RF Domain node, select a controller or service platform, and select one of its connected access points. The access point's statistics menu displays in the right-hand side of the screen, with the Health tab selected by default.
4. Expand the DHCP Server menu.
5. Select Networks.
   The Statistics > AP > DHCP Server > Networks screen displays in the right-hand pane.

   

   

   This screen displays the following:

   Name	Displays the name of the virtual network from which IP addresses can be issued to DHCP client requests on the listed controller or service platform interface.
   Subnet Address	Displays the subnet for the IP addresses used from the network pool.
   Used Addresses	Displays the number of host IP addresses allocated by the DHCP server.
   Total Addresses	Displays the total number of IP addresses available in the network pool for requesting clients.
