Note: To log back in to the AP, you now must use the IP address that is assigned by
the DHCP server in your network.
To determine the IP address that the DHCP server assigned to the AP, use one of the
following methods:
•
Windows-based computer: If you use a Windows-based computer, open Windows
Explorer, and click the Network link. If prompted, enable the Network Discovery
feature. Under Network Infrastructure, locate and click the AP device name (assuming
that you did not change the device name).
•
DHCP server: Access the DHCP server in your network and open the page that
shows the network connections.
•
IP network scanner: Use a third-party IP network scanner to scan for the IP address
that is assigned to the AP.
Use an existing management VLAN
By default, you can access the device UI from any virtual local area network (VLAN), and
management traffic such as traffic from a DHCP server can reach the AP from any VLAN.
That is, management traffic is untagged.
If you are familiar with VLANs and you are using them in your network, you can increase
the security in your network by specifying an existing management VLAN ID so that you
can access the device UI from this VLAN only and management traffic can reach the AP
over this VLAN only. That is, the management traffic is tagged with the VLAN ID.
CAUTION: The VLAN must already be defined on your network, and the DHCP server
(if any), switch (if any), and router to which the AP is connected must be able to reach
the AP over this VLAN. Otherwise, when you change the VLAN, connectivity problems
might occur, and you might be locked out from the device UI.
To specify an existing management VLAN for the AP:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or tablet that is directly connected over WiFi
to the AP or connected to the same network as the AP.
2. Enter the IP address that is assigned to the AP.
If you are directly connected to the management WiFi network, you can enter
https://www.aplogin.net.
A login page displays.
If you do not know the IP address, see Find the IP address of the AP on page 24. For
more information about the management WiFi network, see Management WiFi
network on page 43.
