Command Usage
• You must assign an IP address to this device to gain management
access over the network or to connect to existing IP subnets. You can
manually configure a specific IP address using the ip address
command, or direct the device to obtain an address from a DHCP
server using this command.
• When you use this command, the access point will begin broadcasting
DHCP client requests. The current IP address (i.e., default or manually
configured address) will continue to be effective until a DHCP reply
is received. Requests will be broadcast periodically by this device in
an effort to learn its IP address. (DHCP values can include the IP
address, subnet mask, and default gateway.)
