Configuring the Ethernet Interface<br />

3 Installing the <strong>Access</strong> <strong>Point</strong><br />

The default Ethernet interface settings, which include DHCP and VLAN information, might<br />

not work for all networks. This section describes how to change the default settings.<br />

By default, the DHCP client on the D-Link <strong>Access</strong> <strong>Point</strong> automatically broadcasts requests for<br />

network information. If you want to use a static IP address, you must disable the DHCP client<br />

and manually configure the IP address and other network information.<br />

The management VLAN is VLAN 1 by default. This VLAN is also the default untagged<br />

VLAN. If you already have a management VLAN configured on your network with a different<br />

VLAN ID, you must change the VLAN ID of the management VLAN on the access point.<br />

Using the Web UI to configure Ethernet Settings<br />

The Ethernet interface is the interface that is connected to your LAN. To set network<br />

information for the access point by using the Web interface, click Ethernet Settings.<br />
