DHCP option 78 for IdentiFi APs

[Tavares__Goncal]

Hi.

If a customer has 2 controllers in HA mode connected to S4 and wishes to delegate the DHCP services for the APs at the S4, if he wants to use option 78 in order to tell the APs what are the controllers IP address (2 IP addresses), what is the CLI command regarding option 78 at the S4 under dhcp pool?

Let's say the controllers IP addresses are 10.113.5.5 and 10.113.5.6. Must the values be entered in hex?...

Or, since the controllers data port and APs are in the same VLAN/subnet (same broadcast domain - 10.113.5.0/24), it is better to use the controllers data port DHCP server capabilities in order to assign IPs to the APs (allowing AP registration in the data port, of course)?

Thanks in advance.

Hey guys, sorry to revive a year old thread, but do you know if this same approach would be used on an extreme XOS switch? Doing some research about setting up the x460 switch as a dhcp server for some APs and came across this thread. I see the user guides show the setup for windows server and using the byte code/array option and couldn't figure out how to map that to XOS. Hoping I can just use HEX as you've described above?
