Note
Cisco recommends assigning a static IP address to your bridge to simplify network management and to
prevent delays in receiving an address through DHCP. To assign a static IP address to your bridge, select
None from the Configuration Server Protocol menu and enter the IP address for the bridge in the Default
IP Address field.
Select one of the following options:
•
Press
n
to select None. This setting is used when you want to manually assign a static IP address to
your bridge or your network does not have a working automatic system for IP address assignment.
•
Press

addresses.

predetermined periods of time. Press
Enter
after you make your selection.
Step 9
Press

enter provides the IP address only when no DHCP server responds with an IP address for the bridge.
Press

when you have completed your entry.
Step 10
Press
su
and then press
Enter
to select IP Subnet Mask. Enter an IP subnet mask to identify the

no DHCP server responds to the bridge’s DHCP request. Press
Enter
when you have completed your
entry.
