Is it possible to assign a DHCP pool of IP addresses to a specific SSID?

We're trying to set up our Hive with a little more organization, specifically with regards to separating our connected devices. I was wondering if this would be a feature supported through Hivemanager, even if it had to be in a roundabout way. Currently we have DHCP applying to the APs and the clients from a higher router, but we plan on making the APs act as individual DHCP servers.

Yes, if you set up a DHCP on an AP you would assign that DHCP server to a particular VLAN (you'd need to make sure the switch ports are set to allow the new VLAN throughout your backend network as well). When you create an SSID, you will assign the SSID to a particular VLAN via the user profile. This means that all clients connecting to this SSID will be placed on that VLAN, and that VLAN pulls IP addresses from the DHCP server you created, which would be separate from other users in your network on different VLANs. Is that what you were looking for?
