    Dear Experts,

    What ACL entry do i need to enter if DHCP server is local in the branch (ISP router)?

    That would be a bridge mode WLAN on the RAP, otherwise the remote DHCP is useless.

    Dear Carson,

    Why its not possible? we can breakout the local traffic using source nat rules so why not DHCP?

    Split tunnel uses the IP address of the RAP (usually the IP address that the RAP pulls using DHCP from the local network) to provide NAT services to devices connected to the RAP.  You don't NAT DHCP discovery.

    Also, the whole point of the RAP is to allow access to a central location via the VPN, you need to have centralized DHCP or control over that DHCP so that routing works properly.

    Now, the better question is why do you want to do this?  What are you trying to accomplish?

    I was testing in my own lab for a expected customer setup. But now after your comments it makes perfect sense.
