be handled automatically by the DHCP changes. These should refresh automatically when the
DHCP lease time expires (600 seconds) and they refresh their DHCP lease. This can be
hurried by simply resetting the devices once the other changes have been completed.
Changing the Wireless Subnet
The IP address of the default gateway used by any MEA device must not be within the either of
the wireless subnets configured in all IAPs. Otherwise, SD hosts will be unable to resolve the
IP address of the default gateway. There are two wireless subnets configured for IAPs in
MeshManager on the IAP device configuration window, the local wireless subnet, fields Local
Wireless Subnet and Local Wireless Subnet CIDR (defaults are 10.2.0.0 and 16), and the
global wireless subnet, fields Global Wireless Subnet and Global Wireless Subnet CIDR
(defaults are 172.16.1.50 and 24).
If wired devices will be connected to the MEA subnet, all IAPs must be configured with the
address range of the wired devices if MEA devices need to communicate with them.
Otherwise, SD hosts will be unable to resolve IP addresses of wired devices within the same
subnet. The wired device address range is configured for IAPs in MeshManager on the IAP
device configuration window, fields Global Wireless Subnet and Global Wireless Subnet CIDR
(defaults are 172.16.1.50 and 24).
