Android device problem when using external dhcp server

  • 1.  Android device problem when using external dhcp server

    Posted May 13, 2019 02:21 AM

    I did the dhcp test on the IAP.

     

    An external DHCP server exists and the user leases the IP from the external dhcp server.

     

    An android device that rents IP from an external dhcp server will receive an entry called manage router and will be redirected to the device.

     

    Is this feature only on android device?

     

    Do I need to set up on an IAP or dhcp server?

    I think this is an Android specific feature.  What do you mean with "and will be redirected to the device."?

     

    You can use an IAP as DHCP server or an external DHCP server, depends on you setup.

    The question is, when I use an external DHCP server in an IAP, it only appears on Android devices.

    If you use the DHCP feature on the IAP, or the controller-based AP, manage router do not appear on your Android device.

    I don't know how Android detects this.
    Is HTTP / HTTPS access possible to the router from the client device?

    When you touch "manage router", the user is automatically connected to the gateway IP you received.
