How can I use dhcp class to identify access point ?

Hello,

I have attached an Access Point to my DHCP server. I like to arrange an identifier in my dhcp configuration for the access point by matching its MAC address, so that I can define a different gateway for that access point. All the hosts connects with that access points should go through that particular gateway. Is it possible ?

Thanks

Write which DHCP server are you using.

Yes, connect your AP to its own subnet and add scope for that subnet. You will need to have the AP on its own server interface.
