Unified Access Point Administrator's Guide
Note: The changes you make are not saved or applied until you click Apply. Changing some access
point settings might cause the AP to stop and restart system processes. If this happens, wireless
clients will temporarily lose connectivity. We recommend that you change access point settings
when WLAN traffic is low.
For information about the fields and configuration options on the Basic Settings page, see "Basic Settings"
on page 22.
6. If you do not have a DHCP server on the management network and do not plan to use one, you must change
the Connection Type from DHCP to Static IP.
You can either assign a new Static IP address to the AP or continue using the default address. We
recommend assigning a new Static IP address so that if you bring up another UAP on the same network,
the IP address for each AP will be unique. To change the connection type and assign a static IP address, see
"Configuring the Ethernet Settings" on page 25 (CLI) or "Ethernet Settings" on page 51 (Web).
7. If your network uses VLANs, you might need to configure the management VLAN ID or untagged VLAN ID
on the UAP in order for it to work with your network.
For information about how to configure VLAN information, see "Configuring the Ethernet Settings" on
page 25 (CLI) or "Ethernet Settings" on page 51 (Web).
8. If your network uses IEEE 802.1X port security for network access control, you must configure the 802.1X
supplicant information on the AP.
For information about how to configure the 802.1X user name and password, see "Configuring IEEE 802.1X
Authentication" on page 27.
Basic Settings
From the Basic Settings page, you can view various information about the UAP, including IP and MAC address
information, and configure the administrator password for the UAP. Table 4 describes the fields and
configuration options on the Basic Settings page.
Field Description
IP Address Shows the IP address assigned to the AP. This field is not editable on this page because
the IP address is already assigned (either by DHCP, or statically through the Ethernet
Settings page).
IPv6 Address Shows the IPv6 address assigned to the AP. This field is not editable on this page because
the IP address is already assigned (either by DHCPv6, or statically through the Ethernet
Settings page).
IPv6 Link Local Shows the IPv6 Link Local address, which is the IPv6 address used by the local physical
Address link. The link local address is not configurable and is assigned by using the IPv6 Neighbor
Discovery process.
MAC Address Shows the MAC address of the AP. The address shown here is the MAC address
associated with the management interface. This is the address by which the AP is known
externally to other networks.
