Assigning Static IP Addresses to an MR12 or MR58
The
and MR58 wireless access points have two Ethernet ports that can be used to connect the device to a wired network. However, a static IP can only
be set on the primary Ethernet interface.
This article will discuss:
• Identifying the primary Ethernet port
• Behavior differences between primary and secondary ports
• Determining which port is being used

Identifying the Primary Ethernet Port
MR12
The primary Ethernet port is directly adjacent to the power connector and is labeled as Uplink.
MR58
The primary Ethernet port is located on the bottom-left side of the AP and is labeled as ETH0.
