Hi all - I'm working on WB2 lab 3 and the following requirement was given for an autonomous WGB, "Ensure that the association is reliable." I thought the question was looking for me to configure "infrastructure client" on the root AP since CCO documentation says to do this for "increased reliability". Turns out that wasn't what the lab was looking for, but it did bring up an interesting result – no DHCP even though the WGB associated without any issue.
The other requirement for this task was to have the WGB receive it's IP address via DHCP. I couldn't for the life of me figure out why DHCP wasn't working, as my debugs showed the AP sending them but never getting a reply (or being seen by the DHCP server). Even if I configured a static IP address for the BVI, pings still wouldn't work. I finally looked at the answer to see what I was missing and noticed IPX didn't use "infrastructure client" as part of their solution. I removed that piece and everything immediately started working. I've read what "infrastructure client" does – reliably deliver multicast and ARP's, but I don't see why this broke the ping / DHCP from the WGB. Any insight? Thanks Jay Killion, CCIE #17873 R/S
