MSM710 Controller running 5.7.0.2-01-10750
Mix of MSM310 and 410 APs
Windows 2003 R2 DHCP Server
I have dug through the posts and the config manual, and I am coming up with nothing so I am curious to see what others have done with this.
I have a MSM710 controller and an external DHCP server running multiple scopes. At the moment, I have the controller, AP's and the clients for the internal corporate VCPs connecting to the DHCP server's primary scope (10.10.2.x) correctly. The controller and the AP's are manually set to 10.10.2.x static IPs as well. Finally I have Active Directory doing authentication for the corporate VSC's. I also have a Guest VCP set up, tunneling traffic out the Internet port, and the MSM710's internal DHCP server dooling out IPs for that client tunnel only. No VLANs to muddy the waters, its all on the same layer 2 network, etc.
Everything is working correctly, however I would like the corporate clients to connect using a different DHCP scope (say 10.10.3.x). I have set up the Windows 2k3 DHCP server's scope options for 10.10.3.x with the Colubris options per the configuration guide. However when a corporate client connects, it is still grabbing from the 10.10.2.x network, and I am at a loss for WHY.
First thought is the DHCP server is screwy, however I have a subnet for our IP Phones and that is working without any issues. My second thought is that the controller needs to have a 10.10.3.x address set up, and everything else will fall like dominios. I really hesitate to change that IP address, unless I can map it to have BOTH (say adding it to the active routes?) I noticed in the config guide on page 120 it said "A separate DHCP server can be enabled on each VSC to provide custom addressing that is different from the base DHCP subnet that is determined by the LAN port IP address." Not sure if that was indicating the controller's LAN port must already have an IP address in the scope you wish to use...?
I know a tertiary option would be use the MSM710 DHCP server here as well but since I already have an external DHCP server sitting on the same LAN port, won't that cause it to go bonkers? Especially since I would need to turn on Access Control, which I don't need since I have AD running.
Thoughts, suggestions, similar circumstances??
