Wireless DHCP

I am in the process of deploying wireless access. I need to know if
there is a way I can get the wireless access point to issue DHCP
address to the wireless clients, but not to the wired clients.

I am using Orinoco AP2000 devices.


Many thanks,
Gareth

Sure, just give your wired clients a fixed IP address and tell your DHCP
server in your wireless access points to use a different range. (Use
192.168.1.1 - 192.168.1.99 for wired and let DHCP start at 192.168.1.100, or
something like that).

If your asking if you can have two DHCP servers, one for the wired clients
and one for the wireless, then no, not if you are using the same IP subnet.
Not a good idea.

I need each access point to give a different IP range- that is the problem.
