Configuring the 21XX as a DHCP Client
You can use a DHCP server to automatically assign an IP address to your access point;
that is, the access point can act as a DHCP client.
Note: You cannot configure the access point as both a DHCP server and a DHCP client.
To configure the 21XX as a DHCP client
1. From the menu, click TCP/IP Settings. The TCP/IP Settings screen appears.
2. Click the down arrow on the right side of the DHCP Mode field and choose either
“Always Use DHCP” or “Enabled, if IP Address is Zero.” If you choose “Enabled,
if IP Address is Zero, make sure that the IP Address field is 0.0.0.0.
3. In the DHCP Server Name field, enter the name of the DHCP server that the access
point is to access for automatic address assignment. If no server name is specified,
the access point responds to offers from any server.
4. Click Submit Changes to save your changes. To activate your changes, from the
menu bar click Save/Discard Changes and then click Save Changes and Reboot. For
help, see “Saving Configuration Changes” in Chapter 1.
