WLC and DHCP

[ajducey01]

We have a large supernet in which the WLC is doling out dhcp addresses to wireless clients....motorola radios to be specific.  My question is can the WLC provide dhcp for wired clients on this subnet as well?

Any documentation to support yes or no would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

After a successful handoff of the client to the DMZ anchor controller, the DHCP IP address assignment, authentication of the client, and so on are handled in the DMZ WLC.

I think this is probably more to the point...I'm not using this for guest wireless.

Do you have anything on dhcp offloading?  I need to use the offloading feature to take dhcp off of the WLC and put it on Active Directory.
