Cisco DHCP server setting for WPAD

[budiyanto87]

Hi All,

i have a problem with DHCP Server.

we used Cisco WS-C4503-E with IOS cat4500-ipbasek9-mz.122-53.SG1.bin.

for the existing DHCP server is running well.

-------------

ip dhcp pool ACB123
   network 192.168.1.0 255.255.255.0
   default-router 192.168.1.254
   domain-name abc.def
   dns-server 192.16.182.127 192.16.182.130
   option 43 hex f104.c006.b524
   option 60 ascii "Cisco AP c1260"
   lease 3

------------------

and the problem is when we insert option 252 in not work.

option 252 ascii "http://IP_add_Proxy_server:8081/accelerated_pac_base.pac "

anyone ever have this problem?

or maybe must upgrade IOS or the problem is in the proxy server?

Best Regards,

Yanto

proxy.pac is best done with AD scripts and not in DHCP.

Dear leo,

So, for setting in DHCP server what we need?

option 252 ascii "file with wpad.dat?"

Best Regards,

Hello.

Maybe slightly offtopic, but: keep in mind that DHCP WPAD sometimes in not supported by applications, even by Microsoft Application. So, you need to be very careful implementing this kind of WPAD.

PS: wpad via DNS should be prefered.
