Re-Configure Static IP Addressing Values

Note

This section assumes you have already set the access point to use Static IP Addressing and set some initial values as described in “Get/Change the Connection Type (DHCP or Static IP)” on page 211.

If you are using static IP addressing on the access point (instead of DHCP), you may want to reconfigure the static IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, or DNS name servers.

The following examples show how to change these values from the CLI. With the exception of DNS name servers, these values can only be reconfigured if you are using Static IP Addressing mode.

You do have the option of manually configuring DNS name servers for either a DHCP or Static IP connection type, so that task is covered in a separate section following this one.

Set the Static IP Address

1.Check to see what the current static IP address is. (In this example, the current static IP address is the factory default.)

USR5453-AP#get interface br0 static-ip 10.10.12.221

2.Re-set to a new static IP address:

USR5453-AP#set interface br0 static-ip 10.10.12.81

Set the Static Subnet Mask Address

1.Check to see the current Subnet Mask. (In this example, the current subnet mask is the factory default.)

USR5453-AP#get interface br0 static-mask 255.255.255.0

2.Re-set to a new static Subnet Mask:

USR5453-AP#set interface br0 static-mask 255.255.255.128

Set the IP Address for the Default Gateway

This example sets the Default Gateway to 10.10.12.126:

USR5453-AP#set ip-route with gateway 10.10.12.126 in-use yes

Set DNS Nameservers to Use Static IP Addresses (Dynamic to Manual Mode)

This example shows how to reconfigure DNS Nameservers from Dynamic mode (where name server IP addresses are assigned through DHCP) to Manual mode, and specify static IP addresses for them.

1.Check to see which mode the DNS Name Service is running in. (In this example, DNS naming is running in DHCP mode initially because the following command returns up for the mode.)

USR5453-AP# get host dns-via-dhcpup
