how to use AP50's with non UTM DHCP Server

networkmonkey
Hi Everyone,

First time post, so if this is in the wrong place please feel free to redirect me to the write forum group.

My situation is this, we have a VLAN we use just for access points that has a DHCP server that isnt the UTM. I need to configure the DHCP server to tell all SOPHOS AP50's where to point to for the UTM.

I know this involves configuring the DHCP option 234, what I would like to know is has anyone done this? if so how did you go about doing it? what was the configuration on DHCPd?
Thanks,

Network Monkey

    The only comment I can offer is that the APs connect to the UTM by sending a message to 1.2.3.4.  If your existing infrastructure is sending those packets elsewhere, then that's the problem.  I don't think the APs need your DHCP kung-fu. [;)]

    Then again, I still don't "see" your situation as I'm a visual-tactile learner, so I'm probably hopeless.

    Cheers - Bob

    Hi Networkmonkey,
    What you haven't explained is the infrastucture, not all switches pass the ports required by the APs so you need to review where the traffic the AP is sending gets to as recommended by Bob.

    Also the discussion should have been in the Wireless forum and I expect Bob will move it eventually.
