To configure the IP Settings:
1. Click the
LAN
tab to set a minimum set of parameters to use the access point LAN
interface.
2. Select the
Enable LAN Interface
checkbox to forward data traffic over the access
point's LAN connection. The LAN connection is enabled by default.
3. Use the
This interface
drop-down menu to specify how network address
information is defined over the access point's LAN connection. Select
DHCP
Client
if the access points will receive an IP address from the core network via
DHCP. DHCP is a protocol that includes mechanisms for IP address allocation and
delivery of host-specific configuration parameters, such as IP address, network
mask, and gateway, from a DHCP server to a host.
4. Select DHCP Server to use the access point as a DHCP server over the LAN
connection. Select the Bootp client option if network addressing is provided by a
Bootp server.
5. If using the static or DHCP Server option, enter the network-assigned
IP Address
of the access point.
6. The
Subnet Mask
defines the size of the subnet.The first two sets of numbers
specify the network domain. The next set of numbers specifies the subset of hosts
within a larger network. These values help divide a network into sub networks and
simplify routing and data transmission.
