5500 Series WLC internal DHCP Server - Exclusion?

[Mike Bailey]

Hi there,

We're using the internal DHCP server on our 5500 Series WLC which works fine.

However on one WLAN we ran out of addresses so changed the subnet from a /25 to a /24.

The problem is that the router/gateway is still in the middle (124/125/126) and not easily changed.

I've moved the WLC interface to the top of the subnet (251) but the router is more difficult as its externally managed/controlled.

So is there a way we can create a DHCP pool of .1 through 250 on a /24 mask but exclude 124/125/126?

Thanks

Mike

PS - Router subnet masks were changed so can see whole subnet.

Mike,

    The WLC isn't a fully functional DHCP server, it only allows you to define what is in scope, not what is out of scope.  Now if you have a cisco router/switch, you could use that for the DHCP server and specifically exclude the necessary addresses.

HTH,

Steve
