Orbi DHCP for Satellites only

I have my own DHCP server on my network. It's connected to a satellite of an Orbi system.

 

If I enable the DHCP function in Orbi, even I set the authoritative mark on my DHCP, some of the clients will still get the IP from Orbi.

If I disable the DHCP, all satellites will try get IP from my DHCP server. But, when the system is booting up from cold, DHCP server is not connected to the whole Orbi system to serve, and satellites are offline due to no IP obtained.

 

Please consider to add a new option on Orbi DHCP: Only for satellite, as well as the existed ON/OFF. Or, adding a user defined white list masking by part of MAC address will be better.

 

Thanks.
