simultaneous usage of both external & internal DHCP servers on one controller

Mariya Telitsina — Sun, 04 Jul 2021 02:09:22 GMT

Hello,

I have a WLC controller configured to use external DHCP server. Is it possible to use an internal DHCP server for another pool (external network) on a different physical interface, dynamic interface etc?

Thanks in advance

create a SVI on the switch and configure the corresponding internal pool on the WLC.. this will do it.... make sure we are mapping the WLANs correctly..

if you want to use an external server: fill in the external DHCP IP in at the corresponding interface

if you want to use an internal server: fill in the management IP of the WLC

Just as a follow up. Here is the Cisco document for "DHCP with the WLC"
