Locate the IP address of the Cisco WAP150.

a.

The Cisco WAP150 can be accessed and managed by Cisco 
network tools and services including the Cisco FindIT Network 
Discovery Utility that enables you to automatically discover all 
supported Cisco devices in the same local network segment 
as your computer. You can get a snapshot view of each device 
or launch the product configuration utility to view and configure 
the settings. For more information, see 

www.cisco.com/go/

findit

.

b. The Cisco WAP150 is Bonjour-enabled and automatically 

broadcasts its services and listens for services being 
advertised by other Bonjour-enabled devices. If you have a 
Bonjour-enabled browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 
with a Bonjour plug-in, or the Apple Mac Safari browser, you 
can find the Cisco WAP150 on your local network without 
knowing its IP address.

You can download the complete Bonjour for Microsoft Internet 
Explorer browser from Apple’s website by visiting: 

http://www.apple.com/bonjour/

c.

Locate the IP address assigned by your DHCP server by 
accessing your router or DHCP server. See your DHCP server 
instructions for more information.
