DHCP Client (Enable) – Select this option to obtain the IP
settings for the access point from a DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol) server. The IP address, subnet mask,
default gateway, and Domain Name Server (DNS) address are
dynamically assigned to the access point by the network DHCP
server. (Default: Enable)
DHCP Client (Disable) – Select this option to manually configure
a static address for the access point.
•
IP Address: The IP address of the access point. Valid IP
addresses consist of four decimal numbers, 0 to 255,
separated by periods.
•
Subnet Mask: The mask that identifies the host address bits
used for routing to specific subnets.
•
Default Gateway: The default gateway is the IP address of the
router for the access point, which is used if the requested
destination address is not on the local subnet.
If you have management stations, DNS, RADIUS, or other
network servers located on another subnet, type the IP
address of the default gateway router in the text field provided.
Otherwise, leave the address as all zeros (0.0.0.0).
• Primary and Secondary DNS Address: The IP address of
Domain Name Servers on the network. A DNS maps
numerical IP addresses to domain names and can be used to
identify network hosts by familiar names instead of the IP
addresses.
If you have one or more DNS servers located on the local
network, type the IP addresses in the text fields provided.
Otherwise, leave the addresses as all zeros (0.0.0.0).
