Configure multiple Access points with DHCP
hello
i have 3 D_Link DWL-3200AP access points. i will be putting these up in a Two Floor Office block.
I need to configure them so that, first of all DHCP is used to give out ip address' to clients.
I have configured one right now with DHCP server on and it is working fine. Clients receive ip address and are able to surf the internet and access local network resources.
Now how do i configure the remainder of the Access Points. I know they all will have same SSID and encryption and passKey
But my main concern is how will the DHCP work on the Access Points. Do i Have to configure DHCP on all three Access Points?
I do not want to enable DHCP on the server as there are clients who use laptops with DHCP turned on for their LAN connection and they have "Alternate Address" Configured for their LAN connections.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Also, everytime you changed something (Default Gateway, DNS, ETC) you would have to change the scope on all 3 servers.
