OK, thanks for your reply.
Hi,
Most of the DHCP server, you can configure to give a different IP subnets based on the VLAN. If you set up different SSID on diferent VLAN, the clients connecting to these different SSID's will get IP addresses from different subnets (from the same DHCP server). This is how most of the network enterprise is set up.
Hope this helps,
