Configuring basic device settings

parameters are IP address, network mask, and gateway. Select DHCP

Server to use the access point as a DHCP server over the LAN connection.

Select the Bootp client option to enable a diskless system to discover its

own IP address.

NOTE

Brocade recommends that the WAN and LAN ports should not be

configured as DHCP clients at the same time.

Enter the network-assigned IP Address of the access point. DNS names are

not supported as a valid IP address for the access point. The user is

required to enter a numerical IP address.

d. The Subnet Mask defines the size of the subnet. The first two sets of

numbers specify the network domain, the next set specifies the subset of

hosts within a larger network. These values help divide a network into

subnetworks and simplify routing and data transmission.

e. If using the static or DHCP Server option, enter a Default Gateway to define

the numerical IP address of a router the access point uses on the Ethernet

as its default gateway

If using a static or DHCP Server, enter the Primary DNS Server numerical IP

address.

If using DHCP Server, use the Address Assignment Range parameter to

specify a range of IP address reserved for mapping clients to IP addresses.

If a manually (static) mapped IP address is within the IP address range

specified, that IP address could still be assigned to another client. To avoid

this, ensure all statically mapped IP addresses are outside of the IP

address range assigned to the DHCP server.

NOTE

For additional access point port configuration options, as well as radio,

WLAN and Quality of Service (QoS) options, refer to the Brocade Mobility

7131 Series Access Point Product Reference Guide available at

http://www.brocade.com/support/.

Select the WLAN #1 tab (WLANs 1 - 4 are available within the Quick Setup

screen) to define its ESSID security scheme for basic operation.
