I have an engenius ECB9500 wireless access point plugged in to a Cisco 3550 switch. My PC is wireless. I'm not sure if it is possible, but I need to configure a dhcp server on the 3550 so I can be on the new vlan wirelessly with a dhcp address given to me by the 3550 switch. I only have two vlans, and the 2nd vlan has a 10.0.0.254 IP assigned to it's interface. I want to enable DHCP of the 10.0.0.0 network, and then be able to get to the web via vlan 1 which is on a 192.168.0.0 network. Layer 3 routing is enabled. I'm not sure how to do this.
I hope someone can help me with this issue.
Thanks.

Hello Steve,
I think you could assign the SSID (to which the PC connects) to the VLAN 2. And then, create a trunk between the switch and the AP.
interface FastEthernetX/Y
switchport mode trunk
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
Another option, if your AP doesn't support VLAN and trunk configuration, would be configure the switch port connected to the AP as a VLAN 2 access port:
interface FastEthernetX/Y
switchport mode access
switchport access vlan 2
Then, the switch would have to be configured as a DHCP server:
ip dhcp excluded-address 10.0.0.254
ip dhcp pool WIFI
network 10.0.0.0/24
default-router 10.0.0.254
dns-server ...
...
Best Regards,
César.
