Making DHCP mandatory on Aruba WLAN 

Nov 12, 2011 01:34 AM

These days, most clients obtain an ip address via DHCP. One method for ensuring that users do not use static ip addresses is to turn on the Enforce DHCP parameter in the AAA profile for that WLAN:


You can find out the DHCP server that a user obtained the ip address from by typing "show user ip "

Enforcing DHCP can also deal with issues like secondary ip addresses of clients finding their way into the controller user table like in the post here: http://community.arubanetworks.com/t5/ArubaOS-and-Mobility-Controllers/Weirdness-with-mobile-handsets/td-p/14463
