Obtaining an IP Address
Your access point requires an IP address to operate. The access point is not shipped with a default IP address. It obtains an IP address
from the DHCP server in your network when you make the connection. If your network does not have a DHCP server, the access
point continues to request an IP address until you assign it one. You must configure the IP address by opening the CLI from a terminal
session established through the console port on the access point.
