Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0
DHCP:
The DHCP function requests an IP address from a DHCP server and assigns it automatically
to the Access Point.
DHCP with fallback address
:
This option is a combination of static and automatic IP-address assignment. If an error
occurs during automatic address assignment of the DHCP server, or if no DHCP server is
available, IP assignment automatically switches to the entered static IP address.
Activate Spanning Tree Protocol:
The spanning tree protocol is used for avoiding loops in particular in network environments
with switching.
With this function activated, redundant network lines can be generated.
Default gateway:
In this option, you can specify the IP address of the gateway to be used.
The IP address of this default gateway is used by the device for setting up an IP
configuration for an address outside of its own IP subnet (outside of 192.168.0.254 in this
example). The IP address, however, must be within the range of this network. Its value
will probably be overwritten by a dynamic DHCP value if DHCP was configured under IP
assignment, and if the DHCP server supports this option. The default gateway might be
required e.g. in order to reach an NTP time server, or in order to forward the IP address to
WLAN clients in case of a DHCP setup.
