Ethernet Interface Commands
Command Usage
•You must assign an IP address to this device to gain management access over the network or to connect the wireless bridge to existing IP subnets. You can manually configure a specific IP address using the ip address command, or direct the device to obtain an address from a DHCP server using this command.
•When you use this command, the wireless bridge will begin broadcasting DHCP client requests. The current IP address (i.e., default or manually configured address) will continue to be effective until a DHCP reply is received. Requests will be broadcast periodically by this device in an effort to learn its IP address. (DHCP values can include the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway.)
