Setttings DHCP
This thread has been locked for further replies. You can start a new thread to share your ideas or ask questions.
Hello,
I have a modem/router from the provider and 3 EAP's 650 of which one is wireless (no cable).
To the modem is directly a Netgear GS308EP ethernet switch connected. The wired EAP 650's as other devices (TV's) are all connected to this switch.
My question: What are the best settings concerning DHCP? On the EAP's or the modem from the provider?
thanks
Dirk

If you have the modem router, EAP will obtain IP address auto, leaving the router as the dhcp server.

@Virgo this means I don't have to set up the eap 650 without DHCP? Now this option is on at the modem and EAP's.

How is your wireless AP going to work without an Omada Controller?
Are all APs connected to the switch, if so, Virgo is correct, your ISP's gateway should provide the DHCP for both the APs and the clients (not ideal, but it works)

wiress AP is conected to the wires Root AP.
Omada controller is also connected to the swtich.
you say it is not ideal, what is a better set-up?

Ok, it wasn't clear if you had a controller or not. Best practice would have the AP IPs in the management subnet and VLAN, and each SSID in it's own subnet/VLAN as well.
However, if your setup is just the 3 TPlink APs and a controller, you are fine to run it the way you are, but I would fix (set statically) the IP's of the AP since any disruption to those IPs will result in a disruption to all attached clients. You will need to do this on your router directly unless it is also controlled by the OC200.
To answer your original question, the APs cannot serve IPs to end users, they don't have a built in DHCP server (or at least not the ones I have), and even if they did, you don't want multiple DHCP servers on the same subnet.
