Command Mode

Command Usage
• You must assign an IP address to this device to gain
management access over the network or to connect the
access point 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 access point 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.)
