Enforce DHCP Client only - exceptions

[Alexandr_P]

Hello!

In WiNG we can restrict clients with static IP with “Enforce DHCP Client only”.

But could we make some exceptions?

Like few devices have to have manually configured IP’s, other - with DHCP and don’t accept other non-dhcp clients.

Thank you!

Hi,

  DHCP-only feature is very similar to captive portal process flow - no DHCP request - no further client communication. As long as we are speaking on wireless clients - all of them support DHCP client functionality. So hosting on WiNG the DHCP server making static bindings could be the solution.

Hello, Mishal!

Same answer I gave to Customer, but question is still present.

As AP check clients flows (does it present dhcp frames or not) - could WiNG make exceptions for that or not?
🙂 

Thank you!

Hello, 

  As long as exceptions anyway will be done by MAC why not to provide those "static" IPs as a static DHCP bindings?
