Assigning an IP Address Using the CLI

When you connect the access point to the wired LAN, the access point links to the network using a bridge
virtual interface (BVI) that it creates automatically. Instead of tracking separate IP addresses for the
access point's Ethernet and radio ports, the network uses the BVI.
When you assign an IP address to the access point using the CLI, you must assign the address to the BVI.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to assign an IP address to the access point's
BVI:

Step 1 configure terminal
