This chapter describes how to configure DHCP, DNS and IAS services on 
Windows 2003 Server. In addition, the chapter explains how to configure DHCP 
service on a Linux-based server.

Note that your Windows 2003 or Linux server may have a different configuration 
process than what is described here. You must refer to your manufacturer’s 
document to know the configuration process that is specific to your server. 

The configuration processes described in this chapter should be used as 
examples.

The topics in this chapter are organized as follows:

Before you can configure the DHCP service, you must install it on the server. 
DHCP is not installed by default during a typical installation of Windows Standard 
Server 2003 or Windows Enterprise Server 2003. You can install DHCP either 
during the initial installation of Windows Server 2003 or after the initial installation 
is completed.

You must also install 078 SLP DA Option. The 078 SLP DA Option is not 
installed by default during a typical installation of DHCP service.

You may visit

 to learn how to install DHCP and 078 

SLP DA Option on Windows 2003.

The following section describes how to configure DHCP for Summit WM-Series 
WLAN Switch Software Solution.

You must also enable 078 SLP DA Option for every scope you define. A scope 
is a collection of IP addresses meant to be distributed by the DHCP server to the 
client devices on a subnet.

The SLP DA is used by:

• The Altitude APs to discover the Summit WM Switch.
• The mobility agents to discover the mobility manager.
