This section describes how to view and configure the AP's network settings. Topics
discussed include:

Default IP Addressing Behavior

By default, the AP is configured to automatically obtain an IP address from a DHCP
server on the network. If the AP does not detect a DHCP server, it automatically assigns
itself the static IP address 192.168.0.1 to make it easier for you to preconfigure
and deploy it your network.

Obtaining and Assigning an IP Address

There are at least two instances when you would change the IP address of the AP:
If the current AP IP address consistently conflicts with that of any other device in
■
your network
If you want to switch to a static IP address from DHCP, for use in managing or
■
maintaining the AP
Unless you are able to determine the IP address assigned by the DHCP server to the
AP, it may prove helpful for anyone needing administrative access to assign a static
IP address to the AP.
