Configure DHCP server for lease IPs

How do i configure DHCP server for lease IPs for connected clients in WiFI ?

You can see this in the CLI of the AP with the following commands (were mgtX is, X is the interface you've set your DHCP server to use, you'll want to check this in the DHCP server object you build if you aren't sure):

show int mgtX dhcp-server detail

^This will show you the leases for currently active clients

show int mgtX dhcp-server reserved-address

^This will show you any reserved addresses

Is that what you were looking for? I'm afraid we can't see this in the GUI currently, but I can submit a feature request for this to be added in the future if you'd like?

Hi @Sam Pirok​ I configured DHCP server successfully. Now I want to know how many IP leases by DHCP server ? Can we do that in HM ?

If you want to connect your clients to a DHCP server you are hosting on your backend network (usually through a firewall), then you would just need to set the correct VLAN for the client traffic in the user profile within the SSID the clients are connecting to, and you'll be good to go.

If you want to use an Aerohive AP as your DHCP server, this guide will walk you through how to set that up- https://thehivecommunity.aerohive.com/s/article/DHCP-Server-on-an-AP-in-NG
