Assigning an IP Address Using the CLI
Step 7
Click Exit to exit IPSU.
Assigning an IP Address Using the CLI
When you connect the bridge to the wired LAN, the bridge links to the network using a bridge virtual
interface (BVI) that it creates automatically. Instead of tracking separate IP addresses for the bridge's
Ethernet and radio ports, the network uses the BVI.
When you assign an IP address to the bridge 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 bridge's BVI:
Command
Step 1
configure terminal
Step 2
interface bvi1
Step 3
ip address address
mask
