Global Configuration - DHCP Option 82

The Unified Profile Global Configuration DHCP Option 82 is used to configure the DHCP Option 82 Feature for Stellar APs. DHCP Option 82 allows a DHCP Relay Agent to insert specific information into a request that is being forwarded to a DHCP Server. Specifically, the option works by setting two sub-options: Circuit ID and Remote ID. The Option 82 Feature is enabled/disabled as part of an Access Role Profile. Configure the options as described below, then click on the Apply button.

Note: The DHCP Option 82 Feature is supported on Stellar APs AWOS 3.0.6.x and higher. Any updates to the DHCP Option 82 settings will be applied on all APs.
