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.

• Delimiter - The character to use as a delimiter between values specified in the Circuit ID sub-option. Click on the drop-down menu to select the delimiter character.
• Circuit ID - The Circuit ID sub-option is used to include information about the network device the client request came in on.
  • SSID - The SSID of the network to which the client is connecting.
  • AP Model - The model of the AP to which the client is connecting.
  • AP Name - The name of the AP to which the client is connecting.
  • AP MAC - The MAC address of the AP to which the client is connecting.
  • AP Location - The location of the AP to which the client is connecting.
  • VLAN-ID - The VLAN to which the client is connecting.
  • AP-Port - The AP downlink port to which the client is connecting.
  • Input - A user-customized definition of the Circuit ID.
  • Format of Circuit ID - Displays the format of the selected Circuit ID sub-option information with the specified delimiter character. For example, "AP Name - AP MAC - SSID - AP Location" if a dash is the specified delimiter.
• Remote ID - The Remote ID sub-option is used to include the client information.
  • Client-MAC - The MAC address of the client connecting to the network.
  • AP Location - The AP Location of the client connecting to the network.
  • Input - A user-customized definition of the Remote ID. When this option is selected, the "Client-MAC" and "AP Location" options are no longer available.
  • Format of Remote ID - Displays the order in which the substrings are added to the Remote ID string.

Note: When entering a custom Circuit ID and/or a custom Remote ID, you can use the "$" character in the Input string. The placement of the "$" character defines the string. For example, in the custom string "$$vlan-$ssid-$apmac", the first "$" character signals that it is a custom parameter string and the subsequent "$" characters signal that the parameter is required.
