Initial Configuration
For a description of how to use the CLI, see "Using the Command Line Interface" on
page 7-1. For a list of all the CLI commands and detailed information on using the
CLI, refer to "Command Groups" on page 7-6.

Initial Configuration Steps

Logging In – Enter "admin" for the user name. The default password is null, so just
press [Enter] at the password prompt. The CLI prompt appears displaying the
access point's name.
Username: admin
Password:
SMC Enterprise AP/Bridge#
Setting the IP Address – By default, the access point is configured to obtain IP
address settings from a DHCP server. If a DHCP server is not available, the IP
address defaults to 192.168.2.2, which may not be compatible with your network.
You will therefore have to use the command line interface (CLI) to assign an IP
address that is compatible with your network.
Type "configure" to enter configuration mode, then type "interface ethernet" to
access the Ethernet interface-configuration mode.
SMC AP#configure
SMC AP(config)#interface ethernet
SMC AP(config-if)#
First type "no ip dhcp" to disable DHCP client mode. Then type "ip address
ip-address netmask gateway," where "ip-address" is the access point's IP address,
"netmask" is the network mask for the network, and "gateway" is the default gateway
router. Check with your system administrator to obtain an IP address that is
compatible with your network.
SMC AP(if-ethernet)#no ip dhcp
SMC AP(if-ethernet)#ip address 192.168.2.2
255.255.255.0 192.168.2.254
SMC AP(if-ethernet)#
After configuring the access point's IP parameters, you can access the management
interface from anywhere within the attached network. The command line interface
can also be accessed using Telnet from any computer attached to the network.
