DHCP for APs

In-depth guidance on using DHCPv4 options across AP modes and setting up DHCP servers on various devices.

All HPE Aruba Networking Access Points implement a DHCP client as a means of dynamically obtaining IPv4 addressing along with other network configuration parameters. The information provided by a DHCP server is used by the APs to provide the necessary information required to communicate over an IPv4 network and influence the AP mode through standard and vendor specific options.

Comprehensive guidance on using these options, example configurations for multiple devices, and packet captures reference is provided.
