3.3. Fluidmesh Network Addressing
3.3.1. Bridge IP addressing
If needed, the Cisco FM4200 Mobi can be operated in Bridge mode. This
creates a single point-to-point connection between two network segments.
A simplified example of a Bridge mode connection is shown in Figure 4
(page 21).
As shipped from the factory, the wired ethernet ports of all Fluidmesh
hardware components are assigned the same default IP address of
192.168.0.10/24.
No default IP address is associated with the wireless interface.

This section contains theoretical explanations of the underlying
concepts behind mesh network addressing, and is intended for

installation, see “Hardware installation” (page 29).
• For specific instructions on how to configure a
Fluidmesh radio transceiver unit using the configurator
interface, see “Device configuration using the
configurator interface” (page 48).
Regardless of its configuration and operating mode, every Fluidmesh
radio transceiver is shipped from the factory with a unique unit
identification (ID) number. This number always takes the following form:
