Configuring Internet Settings
Obtaining and Assigning an IP Address
ZoneFlex Outdoor Access Point 9.8.1 User Guide, 800-70598-001 Rev B 72
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 Access Point:
• DHCP/Auto Configuration
• Configuring a Static IP
• PPPoE
DHCP/Auto Configuration
If you leave the Access Point 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.
