Field

Description

IP Address

Shows IP address assigned to this access point. This field is not editable because the IP address is
already assigned (either via DHCP, or statically through the Ethernet (wired) settings as described
in “Configuring Guest Interface Ethernet (Wired) Settings” on page 138).

MAC Address

Shows the MAC address of the access point.

A MAC address is a permanent, unique hardware address for any device that represents an inter-
face to the network. The MAC address is assigned by the manufacturer. You cannot change the
MAC address. It is provided here for informational purposes as a unique identifier for an interface.

The address shown here is the MAC address for the bridge (

br0

). This is the address by which the

AP is known externally to other networks.

To see MAC addresses for Guest and Internal interfaces on the AP, see the
Status, Interfaces tab.
