Assigning a Static IP Address to the Access Point
This section explains how to manually assign an IP address to the access
point. The unit uses the address to communicate with devices on your
network, such as management workstations, syslog servers, and RADIUS
servers. The access point may have only one IP address.
If you have a DHCP server on your network and prefer the access point
obtain its IP configuration from the server, refer to “Assigning a Dynamic
IP Address from a DHCP Server to the Access Point” on page 34.
Note
Changing the IP address of the access point interrupts your
management session. To resume managing the device, you may
have to change the IP address of your management workstation.
To manually assign an IP address to the unit, perform the following
procedure:
1. From the Manage menu, select Ethernet Settings.
The access point displays the “Modify Ethernet (Wired) Settings”
window in Figure 6.
