Appendix G Configuring DHCP Option 43 for Lightweight Access Points
Overview
Overview
This section contains a DHCP Option 43 configuration example on the embedded Cisco IOS DHCP
server for use with Cisco Aironet lightweight access points. For instructions on configuring DHCP
Option 43 on Microsoft, Sun Solaris, Linux, and Lucent QIP DHCP servers, consult the document at this
URL:

e.shtml
For other DHCP server implementations, consult the DHCP server documentation for configuring DHCP
Option 43. In Option 43, you should use the IP address of the controller management interface.
Note DHCP Option 43 is limited to one access point type per DHCP pool. You must configure a separate
DHCP pool for each access point type.
Cisco Aironet 1000 and 1500 series access points use a comma separated string format for DHCP Option
43. Other Cisco Aironet access points use the type-length-value (TLV) format for DHCP Option 43.
DHCP servers must be programmed to return the option based on the access point’s DHCP Vendor Class
Identifier (VCI) string (DHCP Option 60). The VCI strings for Cisco access points capable of operating
in lightweight mode are listed in Table G-1:
The format of the TLV block for 1100, 1130, 1200, 1240, and 1300 series access points is listed below:
• Type: 0xf1 (decimal 241)
• Length: Number of controller IP addresses * 4
• Value: List of WLC management interfaces
