A DHCP server (typically a router with DHCP function enabled) is required to assign IP
addresses to the EAPs and clients in your local network.
The EAP supports two configuring options:
To configure and manage EAPs singly (usually suitable for a small network with a few
EAPs), Standalone Mode is recommended. Please refer to Option 1.
To configure and manage EAPs in batch, Controller Mode is recommended. Please refer to
Option 2.
