Configuring Option 43 for 1000, 1500, and 1550 Series Access
Points
To configure DHCP Option 43 for Cisco 1000, 1500, and 1550 series access points in the embedded
Cisco IOS DHCP server, follow these steps:
Step 1 Enter configuration mode at the Cisco IOS command line interface (CLI).
Step 2 Create the DHCP pool, including the necessary parameters such as default router and name server. These
commands are used to create a DHCP pool:
ip dhcp pool pool name
network IP Network Netmask
default-router Default router
dns-server DNS Server
Where:
pool name is the name of the DHCP pool, such as AP1000
IP Network is the network IP address where the controller resides, such as 10.0.15.1
Netmask is the subnet mask, such as 255.255.255.0
Default router is the IP address of the default router, such as 10.0.0.1
DNS Server is the IP address of the DNS server, such as 10.0.10.2
Step 3 Add the Option 60 line for access point using the following syntax:
option 60 ascii “VCI string”
For the VCI string, use the value from Table F-1. The quotation marks must be included.
Step 4 Add the Option 43 line using the following syntax:
option 43 ascii “Comma Separated IP Address List”
For example, if you are configuring Option 43 for Cisco 1000, 1500, or 1500 series access points using
the controller IP addresses 10.126.126.2 and 10.127.127.2, add the following line to the DHCP pool in
the Cisco IOS CLI:
option 43 ascii “10.126.126.2,10.127.127.2”
The quotation marks must be included.
