Setting the Switch IP Address in the D-Link Access Point
You can connect to the D-Link Access Point CLI and statically set the IP address or DNS name of the D-Link Unified Switch.
You can configure up to four D-Link Unified Switches for AP association, but you can only use one switch to manage the
AP. The other three switches are backup or alternate switches.
Once you configure the AP with the IP addresses or DNS names of switches, the AP will only associate with those switches.
Even if other switches discover the AP by using other mechanisms, the AP only accepts associations from the Unified
Switches you configure. If you change the IP address of the switch that manages the AP, you must use a secondary switch
to manage the AP. You can connect directly to the AP CLI and configure the IP address of the switch that will manage the AP.
If you know the IP address of the D-Link Access Point, you can Telnet to the CLI. The default IP address of the AP is
10.90.90.91 with a default subnet mask of 255.0.0.0.
1
Log on to the D-Link Access Point.
For information about how to log on to the AP, see
“Logging on to the AP” on page 55
.
2
Enter the IP address of up to four switches that are permitted to manage the AP.
For example, to enter a Unified Switch with an IP address of 192.168.66.202 and a Unified Switch with an IP address of
192.168.19.242, use the following commands:
WLAN-AP#
set managed-ap switch-address-1 192.168.66.202
WLAN-AP#
set managed-ap switch-address-2 192.168.19.242
3
Use the
get managed-ap
command to verify that the information you entered is correct.
WLAN-AP#
get managed-ap

From the Unified Switch, you can check the discovery status. To view information about whether the switch discovered the
AP, click the
Monitoring > Access Points > Managed Access Points
tab. It might take several minutes for the AP to
discover the switch.
Note:
For this method to work, the AP must be able to find a route to the Unified Switch.
