Hi,

You should be able to accomplish this with the Win2K3 server. I've attached a screenshot for your reference. The scope has separate Vendor Class Identifiers for the AP1240 and AP1130.

With an IOS DHCP Server, you can shorten the Option 60 VCI to "Cisco AP" and it should work for the APs that begin with the "Cisco AP" VCI string. However, this does not work on Windows DHCP Servers, so the full VCI strings are required (as in the screenshot).

Regards,

Ben
