Configuring the Access Point
Configuring Internet Settings
Obtaining and Assigning an IP Address
There are three methods of assigning IP addresses to the Access Point:
■ DHCP / Auto Configuration
■ Static IP
■ PPPoE
DHCP / Auto Configuration
If you leave the Access Point at its default configuration, it will attempt to obtain an
IPv4 address from a DHCP server on the network.
In an IPv6 network environment, the AP will attempt to obtain an IPv6 address from
an IPv6 Auto Configuration server.
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.
