Configuring IP Addresses of Peers and APs in the Switch
You can configure up to 256 IP addresses for potential peer switches and APs in the D-Link Unified Switch. The switch sends
association invitations to all IP addresses in this list. If the device accepts the invitation and is successfully validated by the
switch, the switch and the AP or peer switch are associated.
This discovery method mechanism is useful for peer switch discovery and AP discovery when the devices are in different IP
subnets. In fact, for a switch to recognize a peer that is not on the same subnet, you must configure the IP addresses of each
switch in the peer’s L3 discovery list.
To view the IP address of the AP, log on to the AP as described in
“Logging on to the AP” on page 55
and enter the
get
management
command.
Use the following procedures to add the IP address of a peer switch or AP to the discovery list by using the Web interface:
1
Use a browser to log on to the D-Link Unified Switch.
2
From the Navigation menu, click
Administration > Basic Setup
, then select the
Discovery
tab.
3
Clear the check box for
L2/IP Discovery
to prevent the switch from sending L2 Discovery messages.
4
Make sure the check box for
L3/IP Discovery
is selected and add the range of peer switch or D-Link Access Point IP
addresses in the From and To fields next to
IP Address Range
.
If the IP addresses are non-contiguous or if you only want to add one IP address, enter the the address in the
From
field,
Note:
The list of IP addresses is separate and independent from the list of valid managed APs. Devices
discovered through this list might not be valid APs or switches.
Note:
If an AP has already been discovered through another method, the Unified Switch will not poll the IP
address of the AP.
Table 8: L3/IP Discovery
Field
Description
L3/IP Discovery
This check box is used to enable or disable IP-based discovery of access points and peer
Unified Switches. When checked, IP polling is enabled and the switch will periodically poll
each address in the configured IP List. By default, L3/IP Discovery is enabled.
IP List
The list of IP addresses configured for discovery, to remove entries from the list select one or
more entries and press the delete button. There are no default entries, the maximum number
of entries supported is 256.
IP Address Range
This text field is used to add a range of IP address entries to the IP List. Enter the IP address
at the start of the address range in the
From
field, and enter the IP address at the end of the
range in the
To
field, then click
Add
. All IP addresses in the range are added to the IP List.
Once all desired entries are added, click
Submit
to save the list in the running configuration.
Note:
To add a single IP address, enter the address in the
From
field and leave the
To
field
blank, then click
Add
.
