Sometimes, in order to achieve an additional set on features/possibilities, our integrated DHCP-Server solutions offer the possibility of engaging DHCP Options. This tutorial will showcase how to set these up easily!

Walk trough Steps:

1. Open the web interface of the designated device, and log in with your admin credentials.
2. Go to configuration>Network>Interface>Ethernet>LAN1 and click on advanced settings.
3. Under the DHCP extended options click on add.
4. Select CAPWAP AC (138), and fill in the Controller IP-address you want to forward the CAPWAP-requests to and click on OK followed by another OK.
