Chapter 13: Virtual Access Point (VAP) Configuration

10.1.1). Set the netmask by changing the client address space segments as described in
10.1.2.
CLI
You can view the IP settings for the VAP interfaces with the ‘ip.*’ parameters in the appropriate
‘wlanN’ interface as shown in the example below.
> use wlan1
wlan1> get ip.*
ip.address = 10.2.4.1 [read-only]
ip.address_force =
ip.broadcast = 10.2.4.127 [read-only]
ip.broadcast_force =
ip.gateway = [read-only]
ip.gateway_force =
ip.netmask = 255.255.255.0 [read-only]
ip.netmask_force =
ip.implicit.size.actual = [read-only]
ip.implicit.size.requested = 31
ip.implicit.start.actual = [read-only]
ip.implicit.start.requested = 1
When an EL-500 is using the implicit addressing scheme, the VAP IP settings can be changed
by altering the ‘id.node’, ‘id.mesh’, and ‘id.lanprefix’ parameters in the ‘sys’ interface and the
‘ip.implicit.start.requested’ parameter in the appropriate ‘wlanN’ interface.
When an EL-500 is using the explicit addressing scheme, the IP address, netmask, gateway
address, and broadcast address can be set using the ‘ip.address_force’, ‘ip.netmask_force’,
‘ip.gateway_force’, and ‘ip.broadcast_force’ parameters in the appropriate ‘wlanN’ interface as
shown in the example below.
> use wlan1
wlan1> set ip.address_force=10.12.8.1
wlan1> ip.broadcast_force=10.12.8.255
wlan1> ip.gateway_force=
wlan1> ip.netmask_force=255.255.255.0
Web GUI
The current VAP IP settings can be viewed through the web interface on the “Config Overview”
tab on the “Status” page. When using the implicit addressing scheme, the VAP IP settings can
be changed by altering the node ID and LAN prefix settings on the “System” parameters tab on
the “System Parameters” page. In explicit addressing mode, the IP parameters can be set on
the appropriate tab on the “Wireless Interface” page.
