Wireless clients can't get DHCP address from router behind Aironet 1100

paulsonger2

We want our wireless clients to get their IP address assigned by the router on the network, not the AP.

We tried configuring the 1100 with a static IP address in the proper subnet, as well as setting it as DHCP so it would get its own address from the router. Both of these configurations work as far as the 1100 being seen on the network. However, wireless clients never get an IP address. The 1100 seems to not want to pass these DHCP requests through to the DHCP server on the router.

How can this be resolved?

An 1100 will let DHCP pass to clients if everything is configured properly. Please post a Show Run from your AP, Switch & Router so we can take a look...

Two SSID and client can not receve ip from DHCP.

If I make VLAN (SSID) native, all OK!

How make work two SSID?

OK. Here it is.

By the way, if I configure the wireless client with a proper static IP address, it will ping the 1100 but not beyond it.

I guess this can be disregarded now.

After power-cycling everything, including the Catalyst switch that is feeding the 1100's, everything is working as it should.

Apparently, some settings on either the AP or the switch don't take effect until after a power-cycle. I suspect the packets were being dropped because of a VLAN setting mismatch.
