Network Management
Configuring network management includes configuring network aspects in numerous areas. See
the following sections for more information on AP-5131 network management:
• Configuring the LAN Interface

5.1 Configuring the LAN Interface
The AP-5131 has one LAN port and thus must manage all data traffic over the LAN connection
carefully as either a DHCP client, BOOTP client, DHCP server or using neither DHCP or BOOTP.
The AP-5131 LAN port has its own MAC address. The LAN port MAC address is always the value
of the AP-5131 WAN port MAC address plus 1. The LAN and WAN port MAC addresses can be
located within the LAN and WAN Stats screens. For information on locating the AP-5131 MAC
addresses, see Viewing WAN Statistics on page 7-2 and Viewing LAN Statistics on page 7-5.
