WFS709TP Guest Access with Corporate Proxy Version 1.0

3. Configuring DHCP Option 252

The description here applies to a Microsoft DCHP server.

First add Option 252 as a valid option (it is often not enabled).

Go to Start -> All Programs -> Administrative Tools and click DHCP. Once this has opened, in

the console tree, right-click the applicable DHCP server and click Set Predefined Options. The

window below will appear.

• The ‘Predefined Options and Values’

window appears

• At this point, click Add

• In Name, type WPAD

• In Data type, select String

• In Code, type 252 and then click OK

• Once back at the ‘Predefined Options

and Values’ window, in the String field

enter:

http://<ip_address:port/location/wpad.dat>

and press OK

• In this case, ip_address is the IP address

of the guest VLAN on the WFS709TP.

The port is 8088 as the web server runs

on that port and the directory is /upload

as captive portal pages are uploaded to

that directory
