[Chilli] coova and dhcp server running on same box

[Abdelmuhaimen Seaudi]

Hello all,
I need to run coova on a device that does not easily disable it's
built-in dhcp server or the ip address on the wifi ap interface facing
the wifi clients.
This means both coova dhcp and device built-in dhcp server are now running.
I can try to use the dhcp relay option, but i understand it's for dhcp
server located on another 2nd device outside the 1st device mentioned
above, which is not the case here.
How can i run coova to not respond to DCHP requests from clients, and
just accept the ip addresses it sees from the clients ?
Here's the suggested model that will be running, as you can see coova
is sitting behind the DHCP-Server of the device.

SCENARIO #1:
Hotspot client (takes IP address from DHCP-Server) <==> WIFI <==>
Interface WiFi0 of Access Point (IP address 192.168.1.1 with
DHCP-Server giving 192.168.1.0/24 to clients) <==> coova with
LAN:Wifi0 and WAN:Eth0 <==> Interface Eth0 connected to internet with
public IP assigned by ISP.

SCENARIO #2:
Hotspot client (takes IP address from DHCP-Server) <==> WIFI <==>
Interface WiFi0 (No IP) <==> bridge <==> Interface Eth1 (IP address
192.168.1.1 with DHCP-Server giving 192.168.1.0/24 to WIFI clients)
<==> coova with LAN:Eth1 and WAN:Eth0 <==> Interface Eth0 connected to
internet with public IP assigned by ISP.


Thanks
