Description
Set this parameter to Dynamic to configure the Access Point as a
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) client; the
Access Point will obtain IP settings from a network DHCP server
automatically during boot-up. If you do not have a DHCP server or if
you want to manually configure the Access Point's IP settings, set
this parameter to Static.
The Access Point's IP address. When IP Address Assignment Type
is set to Dynamic, this field is read-only and reports the unit's
current IP address. The Access Point will default to
169.254.128.132 if it cannot obtain an address from a DHCP server.
The Access Point's subnet mask. When IP Address Assignment
Type is set to Dynamic, this field is read-only and reports the unit's
current subnet mask. The subnet mask will default to 255.255.0.0 if
the unit cannot obtain one from a DHCP server.
The IP address of the Access Point's gateway. When IP Address
Assignment Type is set to Dynamic, this field is read-only and
reports the IP address of the unit's gateway. The gateway IP
address will default to 169.254.128.133 if the unit cannot obtain an
address from a DHCP server.
If you prefer to use host names to identify network servers rather
than IP addresses, you can configure the AP to act as a Domain
Name Service (DNS) client. When this feature is enabled, the
Access Point contacts the network's DNS server to translate a host
name to the appropriate network IP address. You can use this DNS
Client functionality to identify RADIUS servers by host name.
Place a check mark in the box provided to enable DNS client
functionality. Note that this option must be enabled before you can
configure the other DNS Client parameters.
The IP address of the network's primary DNS server.
The IP address of a second DNS server on the network. The
Access Point will attempt to contact the secondary server if the
primary server is unavailable.
