DHCP Server options

[lockheedmartin69]

I presently have 2 access points (1230)on my wireless network, each is setup as a DHCP server and each is assigning a different block of addresses. With more access points expected in the near future I am wondering if I should setup one dedicated DHCP server (Windows box) for centralized administration and turn off the access points DHCP server feature. any suggestions?

also, If i disable the access points DHCP server do I have to enable any relay agent on the access point or with clients that connect to the access point get an IP address automatically from teh windows DHCP server?

Centralised DHCP is generally the way to go for most applications.

Just delete the DHCP Server config from the Access Points, and create a helper-address on the VLAN interface, pointing at the DHCP Server.

Remember that roaming between L3 subnets isn't possible without a Wireless LAN Controller or WLSM.
