Configuring Internet Settings
Default IP Addressing Behavior
Ruckus Wireless Outdoor AP 100.1.0 User Guide, 800-70863-001 Rev A 77
If you want to place this AP’s management traffic into a management VLAN, enter
the VLAN ID in the Management VLAN field and click Update Settings.
Default IP Addressing Behavior
By default, the AP is configured to automatically obtain an IPv4 address from a
DHCP server on the network. If the AP does not detect a DHCP server, it
automatically assigns itself the static IP address 192.168.0.1 (or
192.168.100.2 for Cable Modem APs) to make it easier for you to configure and
deploy it on your network.
For IPv6, the Auto Configuration setting serves the same purpose as DHCP. The
default static IPv6 address is fc00::1.
Obtaining and Assigning an IP Address
There are three methods of assigning IP addresses to the AP:
• DHCP/Auto Configuration
• Configuring a Static IP
• PPPoE
DHCP/Auto Configuration
If you leave the AP at its default configuration, then it attempts to obtain an IPv4
address from a DHCP server on the network.
In an IPv6 network environment, the AP attempts to obtain an IPv6 address from
an IPv6 Auto Configuration server.
Refer to the following:
• Renewing and Releasing DHCP
• Configuring IPv4 Auto or Manual Configuration
• Configuring IPv6 Auto Configuration
Renewing and Releasing DHCP
This task should be performed only if you have access to the DHCP server or have
some way to determine what IP address has been assigned to the AP. It serves as
a troubleshooting technique when IP addresses to one or more networked devices
prove to be unusable or in conflict with others, or when the AP loses its DHCP-
assigned IP address for some reason.
