Field

Description

 

 

 

 

 

 

Mac Address

Media Access Control (MAC) address of the access point.

 

 

 

A MAC address is a permanent, unique hardware address for any device that

 

 

 

represents an interface to the network. The MAC address is assigned by the

 

 

 

manufacturer. You cannot change the MAC address. It is provided here for

 

 

 

informational purposes as a unique identifier for the access point.

 

 

 

The address shown here is the MAC address for the bridge (br0). This is the

 

 

 

address by which the AP is known externally to other networks.

 

 

 

To see MAC addresses for Guest and Internal interfaces on the AP, see the

 

 

 

Status > Interfaces tab.

 

 

 

 

 

 

IP Address

Specifies the IP address for the access point. Each IP address is a link to the

 

 

 

AT-TQ2403 Management Software web pages for that access point. You can use

 

 

 

the links to navigate to the Administration Web pages for a specific access point.

 

 

 

This is useful for viewing data on a specific access point to make sure a cluster

 

 

 

member is picking up cluster configuration changes, to configure advanced

 

 

 

settings on a particular access point, or to switch a standalone access point to

 

 

 

cluster mode.
