Solved: WLC not pass DHCP past bridged units

Roger Smith · ‎06-27-2012

I have a WLC 5508 with LWAP 1242 with wireless bridges connected to the APs I cannot get DHCP to pass through the bridge to the PC connected to the bridge.

Some third-party WGBs need to operate in non-DHCP relay mode. If problems occur with the DHCP assignment on devices behind the non-Cisco WGB, use the following commands:

–config dhcp proxy disable

–config dhcp proxy disable bootp-broadcast disable

The default state is DHCP proxy enabled.

the above commands introduced from 7.0.116.0.

what type of device is your wire'ess bridge? is it configured to be a universal workgroup bridge? Do you have the passive client feature enabled? (requires 7.0 code)
