parameters are IP address, network mask, and gateway. Select
DHCP
Server
to use the access point as a DHCP server over the LAN connection.
Select the
Bootp client
option to enable a diskless system to discover its
own IP address.
NOTE
Brocade recommends that the WAN and LAN ports should not be
configured as DHCP clients at the same time.
c. Enter the network-assigned
IP Address
of the access point. DNS names are
not supported as a valid IP address for the access point. The user is
required to enter a numerical IP address.
d. The
Subnet Mask
defines the size of the subnet. The first two sets of
numbers specify the network domain, the next set specifies the subset of
hosts within a larger network. These values help divide a network into
subnetworks and simplify routing and data transmission.
e. If using the static or DHCP Server option, enter a
Default Gateway
to
define
the numerical IP address of a router the access point uses on the Ethernet
as its default gateway
f.
If using a static or DHCP Server, enter the
Primary DNS Server
numerical IP
address.
g. If using DHCP Server, use the
Address Assignment Range
parameter to
specify a range of IP address reserved for mapping clients to IP addresses.
If a manually (static) mapped IP address is within the IP address range
specified, that IP address could still be assigned to another client. To avoid
this, ensure all statically mapped IP addresses are outside of the IP
address range assigned to the DHCP server.
NOTE
For additional access point port configuration options, as well as radio,
WLAN and
Quality of Service
(QoS) options, refer to the
