LAN-side IP address

LAN-side IP address allows you to configure your access point on your LAN. You can configure the access point to dynamically receive an IP address from your DHCP server, specify a static IP address for your access point, configure DNS servers, and configure the access point as a DHCP server.

LAN-side IP address

You can configure the access point as a DHCP client and use a DHCP server to configure the LAN-side IP address or manually enter a static IP address.

To configure the access point's LAN-side information automatically from a DHCP server, do as follows:

  1. Go to Network Settings > LAN-side IP address
  2. Select DHCP client from the IP address assignment drop-down menu.

  3. Under Default gateway, select one of the following:

    • From DHCP: The access point gets its default gateway configuration from the DHCP server.
    • User-defined: Enter a default gateway manually.

  4. Under LAN-side DNS servers, select one of the following

    • From DHCP: The access point gets its primary and secondary DNS server configuration from the DHCP server.
    • User-defined: Enter the DNS servers manually.

  5. Scroll to the top of the page and click Apply.

To configure the LAN-side settings manually, do as follows:

  1. Go to Network Settings > LAN-side IP address
  2. Select Static IP address from the IP address assignment drop-down menu.
  3. Enter the IP address, Subnet mask, and Default gateway.

  4. Under LAN-side DNS servers, select one of the following

    • From DHCP: The access point gets its primary and secondary DNS server configuration from the DHCP server.
    • User-defined: Enter the DNS servers manually.

  5. Scroll to the top of the page and click Apply.

DHCP server

Before using the access point as a DHCP server, you must select Static IP address and manually configure the LAN-side IP information. See LAN-side IP address.

To configure the access point as a DHCP server, do as follows

  1. Go to Network Settings > LAN-side IP address > DHCP server.
  2. Select Enabled from the DHCP server drop-down menu.
  3. Enter a Starting IP address.
  4. Enter an Ending IP address.
  5. Enter a Domain name.
  6. Select a Lease time from the drop-down menu.
  7. Enter a Primary DNS and Secondary DNS server address.
  8. Scroll to the top of the page and click Apply.
