Pre-Installation Configuration
Access the Web Interface
Change the IP Address
By default, the Ruckus Wireless ZoneFlex 7731 Wireless Bridge units come with DHCP
enabled and will automatically acquire an IP address from a DHCP server if one is
discovered on the network. If no DHCP server is found, the Root bridge and Non-Root
bridge have pre-configured IP addresses assigned to prevent conflict. The default IP
addresses for the two units are as follows:
Root Bridge: 192.168.
2.1
Non-Root Bridge: 192.168
.2.254
If you want to change the IP address of either or
both of the pair, you can manually assign
a static IP address on the Configuration > Bridge page in the Web interface.
CAUTION: If you assign static IP addresses, you must ensure that the IP addresses
assigned are unique network-wide to prevent conflict.
To assign a static IP address, select the Static IP radio button after “Connection Type,”
and enter the desired address and subnet mask as shown in
Figure 15.
