Command Usage
• DHCP is enabled by default. To manually configure a new
IP address, you must first disable the DHCP client with the
no ip dhcp command.
• You must assign an IP address to this device to gain
management access over the network or to connect the
access point to existing IP subnets. You can manually
configure a specific IP address using this command, or
direct the device to obtain an address from a DHCP server
using the ip dhcp command. Valid IP addresses consist of
four numbers, 0 to 255, separated by periods. Anything
outside this format will not be accepted by the configuration
program.
