<strong>Access</strong> <strong>Point</strong> Configuration<br />
Configuring IP Settings<br />
Configuring the access point with an IP address expands your ability to<br />
manage the access point and use its features. A number of access point<br />
features depend on IP addressing to operate.<br />
Not e You can use the web browser interface to access IP addressing only if the<br />
access point already has an IP address that is reachable through your network.<br />
By default, the access point is configured to automatically receive IP<br />
addressing on the default VLAN from a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol<br />
(DHCP) server. However, if you are not using a DHCP server to configure IP<br />
addressing, use the CLI to manually configure the initial IP values. After you<br />
have network access to the access point, you can use the web browser<br />
interface to modify the initial IP configuration, if needed.<br />
Not e If there is no DHCP server on your network, or DHCP fails, the access point<br />
will automatically start up with a default IP address of 192.168.1.1.<br />
Web: Configuring IP Settings Statically or via DHCP<br />
The IP Configuration window on the Configuration tab enables the DHCP client<br />
to be enabled or the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/<br />
IP) settings to be manually specified.<br />
The web interface enables you to modify these parameters:<br />
■ Obtain the IP Address from the DHCP Server: The DHCP client is<br />
enabled. The IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and Domain Name<br />
Server (DNS) address are dynamically assigned to the access point by the<br />
network DHCP server.<br />
■ Use the Static IP Address Below: The DHCP client is disabled. The IP<br />
address settings are configured manually.<br />
• IP Address: The IP address of the access point. Valid IP addresses<br />
consist of four decimal numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods.<br />
• Subnet Mask: The mask that identifies the host address bits used for<br />
routing to specific subnets.<br />
• Default Gateway: The default gateway is the IP address of the nexthop<br />
gateway router for the access point, which is used if the requested<br />
destination address is not on the local subnet.<br />
