3.4 Assigning IP Addresses to MR72s
All gateway MR72s (MR72s with Ethernet connections to the LAN)
must be assigned routable IP addresses. These IP addresses can be
dynamically assigned via DHCP or statically assigned.

3.4.1 Dynamic Assignment

When using DHCP, the DHCP server should be configured to assign a
static IP address for each MAC address belonging to a Meraki AP.
Other features of the wireless network, such as 802.1X authentication,
may rely on theproperty that the APs have static IP addresses.

3.4.2 Static Assignment

Static IPs are assigned using the local web server on each AP. The
following procedure describes how to set the static IP:
1. Using a client machine (e.g., a laptop), connect to the AP either
wirelessly (by associating to any SSID broadcast by the AP) or
over a wired connection. If using a wired connection, connect
the client machine to the MR72 either through a PoE switch or a
Meraki PoE Injector. If using a PoE switch, plug an Ethernet cable
into the MR72's Ethernet jack, and the other end into a PoE
switch. Then connect the client machine over Ethernet cable to
the PoE switch. If using a Meraki PoE Injector, connect the MR72
to the "PoE" port of the Injector, and the client machine to the
"LAN" port.
2. Using a web browser on the client machine, access the AP's
