CAUTION: When you make configuration changes to the switch, you
must select Save Configuration to store your settings to the startup
configuration. If you do not select Save Configuration, any modified
settings will be lost the next time the switch is restarted.
CAUTION: To protect your switch from unauthorized access, you should
change the default password as soon as possible. See "Changing the
Password" on page 35.
To use the wireless features of your switch, you must first connect a
DHCP server to the switch. The DHCP server is required to assign IP
address to the managed access points. If you are already using a cable,
DSL, or traditional router to access the Internet, you may use this router's
DHCP functionality to provide IP addresses to the access points.Refer to
the figure below.
