Configure the DHCP Option that you created under Create New DHCP Options. Configuring this option for the server, automatically includes the scope.

  1. From the IPv4 node, expand the tree.
  2. Right-click Server Options and select Configure Options.
    Click to expand in new window
    Configure Options
    The Server Options dialog displays.
  3. From the General tab, select the DHCP option you just created: 078 SLP DA
    Click to expand in new window
    Configure Server Option 078
  4. Verify the configured Data entry values for the selected option and select OK.

    In a Centralized site, the wireless APs use the SLP DA to discover the ExtremeCloud IQ Controller. The mobility agents use the SLP DA to discover the mobility manager. If there is no SLP deployment on the enterprise network, the ExtremeCloud IQ Controller is configured to act as a DA by default. If you put the appliance IP address in a DHCP server for Option 78, Wireless APs will interact with the appliance for discovery. Similarly, the mobility agents also interact with the ExtremeCloud IQ Controller to discover the mobility manager.
