SCENARIO : Restrict Static IP 

CATEGORY : IP Management 

PURPOSE / USE CASE : Enforce DHCP use, prevent rogue configurations 

STEPS TO TEST : Enable restriction, connect client with static IP 

 

 

Restricting Static IP Addresses in a Wi-Fi/LAN Network 

If you want all devices to use only DHCP and block static IPs, the goal is to stop users from bypassing your IP plan or gaining unauthorized LAN access. This is common in offices, schools, and public Wi-Fi setups. 

 

Why Restrict Static IPs? 

Without control, a user can: 

  • Assign themselves an IP in your subnet. 

  • Bypass access controls tied to DHCP. 

  • Potentially impersonate another device (IP conflict). 

 

HOW IT WORKS: 

Step 1: 

Onboard RAY Access Point in RAY cloud controller. 


Step 2: 

Configure Desired Network Interface so that we can attach it while configuring SSID. 

 

 

Step 3: 

Create WLAN for broadcasting SSID. As shown in the screen capture, we must give the WLAN name, SSID name and attached network Interface that we have created for the Accesspoint. Configure password that client / user has to enter while connecting to the same SSID. 

For Restrict Static IP we need to enable Restrict Static IP under the advanced section tab.
