On the left hand pane, click on Network. Under Network in the left hand pane, click on LAN.
You’ll see two fields:
1. “IP address” where you can enter in an XSCE static IP address.
2. Subnet Mask: Select “Other Mask” from the dropdown box to open up a box where you can
manually enter in the XSCE’s netmask.
You can enter in any IP from 172.18.126.2 to 172.18.126.253. but I like to start at
172.18.126.100 because it’s easy to remember. For example, if I have two APs on the XSCE’s
LAN, I put the second one on 172.18.126.101. The XSCE’s DHCP server has 172.18.126.0/24
set aside for static IPs, so it’s best practice to use an address in that range. Whatever IP address
you set it to, make a note of it, as you will need it later.
