Allowing Static IP Addresses for Clients

[Sean Coogle]

When I setup my two 8510 WLC's, I think I may have not allowed static IP's for clients. How can I see on the CLI or GUI if that setting is enabled or disabled? I can't find this anywhere.

Under you WLAN configuration, in the advanced tab...

Look and see if DHCP Required is checked.

HTH,

Steve

• Thanks Steve. I looked at that piece of it and yes, it was fine. On the basic setup when the controller first comes up, there was an option for "Allow Static IPs" and I am pretty sure I said yes, but for some reason, I can't use any static addresses on WLAN's that I am able to use on other controllers. There is no command on the CLI that shows if that is enabled or disabled? It may not have anything to do with this as it may be a global configuration for allowing the controller to use a static. Not sure.

DHCP is a per WLAN configuration.

When you go through the wizard setup you are configuring the first WLAN, which I usually deleted and reconfigure after the WLC is fully up after the wizard.

When you go and look at a client with a static IP on the WLC, what is the Policy State that it is in?

I have issue also, I stay in DHCP_REQ for policy state
