Chapter 5 Configuring the Bridge for the First Time

Obtaining and Assigning an IP Address

Note If the bridge is configured with a static IP address, the IP address is not changed.

Obtaining and Assigning an IP Address

To browse to the bridge’s Express Setup page, you must either obtain or assign the bridge’s IP address using one of the following methods:

•Use default address 10.0.0.1 when you connect to the bridge locally. For detailed instructions, see the “Connecting to the Bridge Locally” section on page 5-3.

•Use a DHCP server (if available) to automatically assign an IP address. You can find the DHCP-assigned IP address using one of the following methods:

–Provide your organization’s network administrator with your bridge’s Media Access Control (MAC) address. Your network administrator will query the DHCP server using the MAC address to identify the IP address. The bridge’s MAC address is on label attached to the bottom of the bridge.

–Use the Cisco IP Setup Utility (IPSU) to identify the assigned address. You can also use IPSU to assign an IP address to the bridge if it did not receive an IP address from the DHCP server. IPSU runs on most Microsoft Windows operating systems: Windows 9x, 2000, Me, NT, and XP.

You can download IPSU from the Software Center on Cisco.com. For additional information refer to the “Obtaining and Installing IPSU” section on page 5-9.

Connecting to the Bridge Locally

If you need to configure the bridge locally (without connecting the bridge’s power injector to a wired LAN), you can connect a PC to the power injector’s Ethernet port using a Category 5 Ethernet cable. You can use a local connection to the Ethernet port much as you would use a serial port connection.

Note You do not need a special crossover cable to connect your PC to the bridge’s power injector; you can use either a straight-through cable or a crossover cable.

If the bridge is configured with default values and not connected to a DHCP server or cannot obtain an IP address, it defaults to IP address 10.0.0.1 and becomes a mini-DHCP server. In that capacity, the bridge provides up to twenty IP addresses between 10.0.0.11 and 10.0.0.30 to an Ethernet-capable PC connected to the power injector’s Ethernet port.

The mini-DHCP server feature is disabled automatically when you assign a static IP address to the bridge.

Caution When a bridge with default settings is connected on a wired LAN and does not receive an IP address from a DHCP server, the bridge provides an IP address to any DHCP requests it receives.
