Professional Access Point
Administrator Guide
The following table describes the access point settings and information display in detail.
Field
Description
Location | Description of the access point’s physical location. |
|
|
MAC Address | Media Access Control (MAC) address of the access point. |
| A MAC address is a permanent, unique hardware address for any device that repre- |
| sents 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 access point is known externally to other networks. |
| To see MAC addresses for Guest and Internal interfaces on the access point, see the |
| Status menu’s Interfaces page. |
|
|
IP Address | Specifies the IP address for the access point. Each IP address is a link to the Web User |
| Interface for that access point. You can use the links to navigate to the Web User Inter- |
| face 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. |
