Configuring Bridge Settings
Changing the Username and Password
The default username (super) and password (sp-admin) should be changed after
installation to prevent unauthorized access. To change the login information,
1. Go to Configuration > Bridge.
2. Under Service Provider Settings, enter the new username, existing password and
new password (twice).
3. Click Update Settings to confirm.
Default IP Addressing Behavior
By default, the Wireless Bridge is configured to automatically obtain an IP address
from a DHCP server on the network. If the bridge does not detect a DHCP server, it
automatically assigns itself a static IP address to make it easier for you to preconfigure
and deploy it on your network.
The default IP addresses for the Root and Non-Root bridge (if no DHCP server is
available) are as follows:
Root Bridge: 192.168.2.1
Non-Root Bridge: 192.168.2.254
Obtaining and Assigning an IP Address
There are at least two instances when you would change the IP address of the bridge:
■ If the current bridge IP address consistently conflicts with that of any other device
in your network
■ If you want to switch to a static IP address from DHCP, for use in managing or
maintaining the bridge
Unless you are able to determine the IP address assigned by the DHCP server to the
bridge, it may prove helpful for anyone needing administrative access to assign a
static IP address to the bridge.
