I've got a FreeBSD server as my home gateway/firewall, and have the
Aironet WAP plugged into the internal LAN switch. My goal is to have
all WAP clients on a different subnet (A.B.111.0) from the local LAN
(A.B.1.0).
My first attempt was to create an alias IP on the server's LAN
interface, add rules to dhcpd.conf to handle the new subnet, then
configure the WAP to obtain it's own IP from the new subnet. Well the
WAP gets the right IP and router info, but WAP clients are still
getting assigned IPs from the regular LAN subnet which is not what I
want.
I have a feeling this is because the WAP is acting as a passthru device
as all requests show up as 0.0.0.0.bootpc > 255.255.255.255.bootps
It makes logical sense that if I could have the WAP change the requests
to 0.0.0.0.bootpc > A.B.111.255.bootps then that might do the
trick, but I have a feeling that's not possible or even valid.
Can I accomplish my goal on a single switch (cheap Netgear) without
resorting to hard coded MAC addresses in dhcpd?
