Management Interface (Mgt0) DHCP settings explanation

[matt_nissen]

Hello! I am trying my best to absorb as much info about Hivemanager and the AP's?…

I am trying to troubleshoot a problem with wireless where it seems to take forever for some of our clients to get an IP, Default Gateway ARP, DNS.

Each AP's Management Interface (Mgt0) - MGT IP Address is set for DHCP. But there is another selection that you can check - Use DCHP only to set IP Address...….

What does that other option toggle off an on? If we have DHCP, DNS, and everything else on our backend will this setting help or hurt that process?

any help is much appreciated!

Do the client devices take a long time upon initial connection or does this happen when roaming between APs? That option will only set the IPv4 address, I don't think this will speed up the process. It sounds like the network may be congested/have high latency

If you wire in a new client, do they take a long time to obtain an IP also?
