1. Supported DHCP Options The Avaya 8100 series Access Points requires DHCP to obtain network addressing and discover the Avaya 8100 series Wireless Controllers. Avaya 8100 Series Access Points and support various standard and vendor specific DHCP options to which are implemented provide the Access Points with the necessary information required to communicate on the IP network, discover Wireless Controllers and optionally enable syslog logging and site survey modes.

Figure 1.0 – DHCP Process

Standard and vendor specific DHCP options are provided to Avaya 8100 series Access Points with the DHCP Offer and DHCP ACK forwarded from the DHCP server:

1) The Avaya 8100 series Access Points broadcasts a DHCP Discover message onto the physical network to discover available DHCP servers. The DHCP server can be located on the same IP subnet as the Access Point or through a Layer 3 enabled device that support DHCP Relay which can forward DHCP packets to a DHCP server on a different VLAN. The DHCP discover message will include DHCP option 55 (Parameter Request List) which tells the DHCP server what DHCP options the Avaya 8100 series Access Points may receive from the DHCP scope.

2) When a DHCP server receives a DHCP Discover message from an Access Point, it reserves an IP address and forwards a lease by sending a DHCP Offer message to the Access Point. The DHCP Offer will include the IP address to be assigned to the Access Point as well as any standard, vendor specific and/or user defined DHCP options that are supported by the device and are assigned to the DHCP scope.

3) An Avaya 8100 series Access Point may receive DHCP Offers from multiple DHCP servers but will only accept one DHCP Offer. The Access Point will forward a broadcast DHCP Request message with a transaction ID to inform the available DHCP servers which lease the Access Point has accepted. The DHCP servers whose lease the Access Point did not accept will return the offered address to their pool of available addresses.

4) When the DHCP server receives the DHCP Request message from the Access Point, the DHCP process enters its final phase. The DHCP server serving the lease will forward a DHCP ACK message to the Access Point that include the lease duration and any standard and vendor specific DHCP options the Access Point might have requested. At this point, the DHCP IP configuration process is complete.

Each DHCP server must include a DHCP scope for each IPv4 or IPv6 subnet that it serves. Each DHCP scope must include a pool of IP addresses that can be leased to DHCP clients as well as standard and vendor specific DHCP options that are to be assigned to the DHCP clients leasing IP addresses from the scope.

1.1 Vendor Class Identifier In some instances it may be desirable to supply unique DHCP options to a subset of devices in a VLAN such as printers or Avaya 8100 Access Points without creating static DHCP reservations or assigning device specific options directly to the entire scope. This is the purpose behind vendor class DHCP options.

Avaya 8100 series Access Points support DHCP option 60 (Vendor Class Identifier) which is forwarded to the DHCP server with the DHCP Discover and ACK that identifies the Access Point as an ‘Avaya’ Access Point. The DHCP server will filter the on supplied vendor class string and return specific DHCP options and values to the Access Points.

Using the vendor class identifier allows DHCP administrators to assign vendor specific DHCP options to devices without running the risk of duplicating options within the DHCP scope. For example it allows an organisation to supply separate DHCP option 43 values to different vendor devices which would not be possible if the option 43 value was assigned directly to the scope.

The Avaya 8100 series Access Points with 1.0.1 firmware or higher support the following vendor class identifier string:

1.4 Avaya Legacy Options Prior to release 1.0.1 the Avaya 8100 series Access Points required a single DHCP option 43 vendor-encapsulated option string to provide the Access Points with the IP addresses off the Avaya 8100 series Wireless Controllers and if necessary the base port.

This vendor-encapsulated option had to forward to the Avaya 8100 series Access Points with the DHCP Offer and DHCP ACK as a hex string that used the following format:

<Mandatory Prefix><IP Address 1><IP Address 2><IP Address 3><Optional Base Port>

Mandatory Prefix 08:08:41:56:41:59:41:20:41:50 = AVAYA AP

IP Address 01:04:co:a8:0b:1e = 192.168.11.30

01:04:c0:a8:0b:1f = 192.168.11.31

Note: Each IP Addresses must include the prefix 01:04.

Optional Base Port 03:03:[ee:48] = 61000

Note: The base port must include the prefix 03:03.

An example entry to provide Avaya 8100 series Access Points with the Wireless Controller IP Addresses 192.168.11.30 & 192.168.11.31 with the base port 6200 would be as follows:

08:08:41:56:41:59:41:20:41:50:01:04:co:a8:0b:1e:01:04:c0:a8:0b:1f:03:03:f2:30

Access Points running 1.0 GA firmware do not support the new DHCP options. To migrate to the new DHCP options, all the Access Points serviced by the DHCP scope must be running 1.0.1 or later firmware. To ease migration it is recommended that the legacy options be maintained in the DHCP scope until all the Access Points serviced by the DHCP scope have been upgraded. Once the Access Points have been upgraded, the new DHCP options can be added to the scope.

Prior to the 1.0 GA release, Avaya 8100 series Access Points only supported IP addresses using a 01:04 prefix followed by the controller IP address in Hex (example 01:04:co:a8:0b:1e). Access Points running pre-GA firmware will only perform discovery if this option 43 format is used.
