Setting Network Identifiers 6 - 3
Typically, there is no need to use a value other than the default network
ID. However, if your LAN addresses are locally administered, you may
want to change the value of this parameter to match those used on your
LAN. No two units can be assigned the same address.
To set the value to the default programmed into the hardware, select
“default” when prompted.
NOTE: 1After the network ID is changed, the unit must be restarted either
by powering it “Off” and then “On”, or by using the “Diagnostics Restart”
command for the change to come into effect.
Assigning an IP Address (Inaddr)
Use the inaddr option to establish an IP (Internet Protocol) address for
the Aironet Wireless Client. An IP address must be assigned to the unit
before it can be accessed by either telnet, HTTP, or SNMP.
The IP address may either be assigned manually from this menu or by a
BOOTP or DHCP server on the infrastructure. See “Downloading Using
the Internet Boot Protocol (Bootp/DHCP)” in Chapter 11.
Specifying the IP Subnet Mask (Inmask)
Use the inmask option to assign an IP Subnetwork mask to the Aironet
Wireless Client. The subnetwork mask determines the portion of the IP
address that represents the subnet ID. A digit in a “bit” of the mask indi-
cates that the corresponding “bit” in the IP address is part of the subnet
ID. This item may also be assigned by a BOOTP or DHCP server. See
“Downloading Using the Internet Boot Protocol (Bootp/DHCP)” in
Chapter 11.
