Settings on the Ethernet Identification Page
The Ethernet Identification page contains the following settings:
•
Primary Port Settings
•
Default IP Address
•
Default IP Subnet Mask
The page also displays the access point’s MAC address, the system serial number,
its current IP address, and its current IP subnet mask.
Primary Port Settings
Two options allow you to designate the access point’s Ethernet port as the Primary
Port and select whether the Ethernet port adopts or assumes the identity of the
primary port.
•
Primary Port?—The primary port determines the access point’s MAC and IP
addresses. Ordinarily, the access point’s primary port is the Ethernet port, so
this setting is usually set to yes. Select
yes
to set the Ethernet port as the
primary port. Select
no
to set the radio port as the primary port.
•
Adopt Primary Port Identity?—Select
yes
to adopt the primary port settings
(MAC and IP addresses) for the Ethernet port. Select
no
to use different MAC
and IP addresses for the Ethernet port.
Some advanced bridge configurations require different settings for the Ethernet
and radio ports.
Default IP Address
Use this setting to assign or change the access point’s IP address. If DHCP or
BOOTP is not enabled for your network, the IP address you enter in this field is
the access point’s IP address. If DHCP or BOOTP is enabled, this field provides
the IP address only if no server responds with an IP address for the access point.
