Chapter 2 Setting Up BBSM Hotspot
Running the Setup Wizard
Caution The IP addresses of your switches and access points must be set to addresses that are within this Network Devices Address range. To increase performance, we recommend using the numbers in this range consecutively so that any unused IP addresses are at the end of the range.
•DHCP Client Addresses—These addresses are allocated to the DHCP client address pool. Because most network devices are configured as DHCP, after the BBSM NIC and the network device addresses have been allocated, BBSM Hotspot allocates 90 percent of the available end-user addresses to the DHCP pool. You can modify this address range in the Hotspot Configuration tool on the Dashboard or by using the Address Change Wizard.
•Static Client Addresses—These addresses are allocated to the statically configured client address pool. Because static configurations are not common, this range is allocated by BBSM Hotspot to 10 percent of the total remaining pool after the BBSM NIC and the Network Device addresses have been allocated.

Step 14 Click Next. The Discovering Network Devices window appears, showing that BBSM Hotspot is running switch discovery to find network devices connected to the BBSM Hotspot internal network.
(See Figure 2-12.) As each device is discovered, BBSM Hotspot is automatically configured to work with the device. The progress bar shows the number of devices found based on the number entered in Step 12. The Back and Next buttons are disabled until the process is complete.
