    I have been looking at one of Instant deployments and have noticed that although we are not specifying a DHCP address for virtual controller assigned client, they are using the default scope. My question is - what DNS server address are the clients using? they must be getting one from somewhere (CP redirect is working) - can they pick up an address other than via DHCP or can smart devices have a default. The are guest clients so probably using iPads etc.

    If no DNS entry is specified, the clients will use the DNS server the IAP VC obtained from DHCP.

    Most of our customers have static addresses including this one, we have specified a static DNS address for the IAP so assume its inherited by the client. If nothing was specified I guess that would be a problem?

    If the IAP is configured using a static DNS address then the client will also inherit that DNS address by default.
