Re: Specifying a DHCP Range for Wireless Clients?

You may have many options. 1. If it is possible, setup a VLAN. For example, in our company, we have 3 VLAN, one for intranet/domain network, student and public. The student and public can't access domain network and they are in the different subnets.

2. You may setup the wireless router in the DMZ as a DHCP server.

Is it possible, within Windows DHCP (Windows Server 2003 R2 SP2), to
specify a range for wired clients and a separate range for wireless
clients?

Background: a small organization, two servers (both domain
controllers), one running DHCP. Client systems connected to this
network fall in three categories:

1. Permanently wired desktop systems for office workers, members of
the domain.
2. Wireless notebook systems for office workers, members of the
domain.
3. Guest laptops needing Internet connectivity only, not members of
the domain, wirelessly connected.

All three client types will be getting their addresses from DHCP. I
was thinking of disabling DHCP services on the wireless router
(Linksys) altogether. I wanted to specify a range of IP's, perhaps
even on a different subnet for the wireless clients to keep them as
separated as possible from the domain. Then create reservations for
the couple of laptops that are domain members, assuming that would
supercede whatever rules could be established to force wireless guests
to a different range/subnet.

Ideas? Suggestions? I'm open to anything at this point. I'm just
beginning the design phase.

Thanks!
