TCP / IP Settings
Configuring the access point with an IP address expands your
ability to manage the access point. A number of access point
features depend on IP addressing to operate.
Note:
You can use the web browser interface to access IP addressing
only if the access point already has an IP address that is
reachable through your network.
By default, the access point will be automatically configured with
IP settings from a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)
server. However, if you are not using a DHCP server to configure
IP addressing, use the CLI to manually configure the initial IP
values (page 4-3). After you have network access to the access
point, you can use the web browser interface to modify the initial
IP configuration, if needed.
Note:
If there is no DHCP server on your network, or DHCP fails, the
access point will automatically start up with a default IP address of
192.168.1.1.
