Finding the Bridge’s IP Address
If your bridge receives an IP address from a DHCP server, use IPSU to find its IP address. Follow these
steps to find the bridge’s IP address:
Step 1
When the utility window opens, make sure
Get IP addr
is selected in the Function box.
Step 2
Enter the bridge’s MAC address in the Device MAC ID field. The bridge’s MAC address is printed on
the label on the bottom of the unit. It should contain six pairs of hexadecimal digits. Your bridge’s MAC
address might look like the following example:
0040963029b9
Note
The MAC address field is not case-sensitive.
Step 3
Click
Get IP Address
.
Step 4
When the bridge’s IP address appears in the IP Address field, write it down.
If IPSU reports that the IP address is 10.0.0.1, the default IP address, then the bridge did not receive a
DHCP-assigned IP address. Steps for assigning an IP address are included in the “Default IP Address”
section in Chapter 3 of the
Cisco Aironet 350 Series Bridge Software Configuration Guide
.
Step 5
To check the IP address, browse to the bridge’s browser-based management pages. Open an Internet
browser.
Step 6
Enter or paste the bridge’s IP address in the browser’s location or address field. Press
Enter.
The bridge’s
home page appears.
