Configuring Ethernet Settings
Configuring the access point with an IP address expands your ability to
manage the access point and use its features. 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 is configured to automatically receive IP
addressing 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. 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 192.168.1.10.
Web: Configuring IP Settings Statically or via DHCP
The Ethernet screen, under Network Configuration, allows the DHCP client
to be enabled or the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/
IP) settings to be manually specified.
The Web interface enables you to modify these parameters:
■ Untagged VLAN: Allows input of a VLAN identifier.
■ Management VLAN: Allows designation of a VLAN to be used for
management access.
■ Speed / Duplex: Allows selection speed and duplex mode of the ethernet
interface. (The default is ‘Use Auto Negotiation’.)
If the Ethernet port to which the access point is connected requires a fixed
speed or duplex mode, you can set the speed and duplex from the Speed/
Duplex drop-down.
You can fix the speed to 10 or 100 Mbps (megabytes per second), and the
duplex mode to full, half or auto.
The most common setting is “auto-negotiate” for which the access point
and switch port will negotiate to the best speed and duplex supported.
