How to configure DHCP Server?

Joel_Garcia — Tue, 12 Feb 2019 06:17:44 GMT

I'm configuring an AP8533 with Wing v5.8, and I have two different wlan (SSIDs) and I want to distribute different dchp one for each SSID.

At the moment I only have one DHCP server configured that is in a vlan1 virtual interface; I would like to know how to configure it.

I'm assuming here that the other SSID will be operating on a different VLAN (something other than VLAN-1)

Here's a link to a guide for the GUI:

If so, I already have both DHCP, but I am not able to assign a DHCP to a specific SSID.

DHCP services are setup based on the networks they need to lease addresses to. You don't assign a DHCP server to an SSID (WLAN).
Normally you would have multiple SSIDs, each operating on different VLANs.
A DHCP server would be configured with address pools for the networks that the different VLANs represent. The DHCP service would then applied to either an access point or a controller.

So if you have SSID-1 and it's mapped to VLAN-1 and SSID-2 and it's mapped to VLAN-2, you would create a DHCP server and then setup two address pools. One for each VLAN.
Example:
VLAN-1 might be for subnet: 10.10.1.0/24
VLAN-2 might be for subnet: 10.10.2.0/24

Within each of those address pools you would also specify the IP address range for the addresses that would be handed out to the DHCP clients.

So if a client is looking for a DHCP service on VLAN-1, they could be doing this from the wired side or the wireless side. It doesn't matter. As long as they're on the VLAN-1 subnet, they will be served by the DHCP server and given an address that has been setup for the 10.10.1.0/24 network. Same for the VLAN-2 network.
