My WAPS are causing my DHCP server to mark all available IPs as bad addresses
My WAPS are causing my DHCP server to mark all available IPs as bad addresses

Model: EAP225  
Hardware Version: V4
Firmware Version: 5.1.0

We purchased nine new WAPs and installed them.  We configured them with static IPs and loaded them into the controller.  It's all working great in that devices can connect to the SSID and they are issued IP addresses and everything is great.  

 

EXCEPT:

 

We have a DHCP server in our domain and when we brought on the WAPs, we began to notice that all available IPs in our DHCP server are marked as BAD ADDRESS.  When we clear them, we can watch, and slowly, over time, they are all marked as BAD ADDRESS again.  

 

When we take down all of the WAPs, the DHCP server works as expected.

 

Looking thru the WAPs, I see no way to assign a pool of IP addresses to issue.

 

Has anyone else seen this result?  Does anyone know of a way to "fix" this?

 

Thanks

Bad addresses? Do you have a screenshot of this error?

What is your DHCP Server? Have you checked if this issue is on the DHCP Server?

Cuz the EAPs are just the clients which obtain the IPs from the Server.

Just striving to develop myself while helping others.

screen cap  @Virgo the DHCP server is a windows server that has been static for about five years.  When the WAPs are online, we get the bad addresses.  When the WAPs are offline, we do not get the bad addresses.  Screen cap below.

Try making the DHCP lease time on your server longer...like an hour or more.

Then go the other way and make them like 20 min.
