MSM7xx Controllers Configuration Guide v6.4.0

Addressing
The Access network/LAN port interface must be configured with a static IP address. By default, it
is set to the address 192.168.1.1.
Management address
Use this option to assign a second IP address to the Access network/LAN port interface. This
address provides a simple way to separate management traffic from user traffic without using
VLANs.
For example, by default the Access network/LAN port interface is set to 192.168.1.1 and all client
devices obtain an address on this subnet from the controller DHCP server. With this feature you
can add another address, say 192.168.2.1/255.255.255.0. APs can then be assigned to this
subnet using static IP addressing. Now all management traffic exchanged between the controller
and the APs is on a separate subnet.
Configuring the Internet network/Internet port interface
The following configuration options are available if you select the Internet network interface (on
an MSM720) or Internet port interface (on all other controllers) in the table.
