74 Configuring Ethernet, IP, and VLAN settings
The M220 does not add VLAN tags when forwarding traffic to wireless clients, regardless of
whether the traffic was tagged or untagged on the wired network.
By default, this option is enabled and the untagged VLAN ID is 1.
Note If VLANs are not used on your network, these settings have no effect on the forwarding of
traffic.
IPv4 configuration
Use this area to configure the M220 to be assigned an IPv4 address from a DHCP server on
your network, or to statically configure an IPv4 address.
Automatically assigning an IP address (default method)
By default, Connection type is set to DHCP and the M220 operates as a DHCP client. This
means that if the network has a DHCP server, the M220 will automatically receive a new IP
address in place of its default IP address (192.168.1.1) upon connecting to the network.
The DHCP server will assign an address from its pool of available addresses. You can find the
IP address of the M220 by looking for its Ethernet base MAC address in the DHCP server log.
The Ethernet MAC address is printed on the M220 label identified as Ethernet Base MAC,
or listed on the management tool IP page as MAC address.
To have the DHCP server assign a specific IP address to the M220, you need to preconfigure
the DHCP server to associate the IP address you want to use with the MAC address of the
Ethernet port on the M220.
Static IP configuration
You can manually assign an IP address to the Ethernet port. This requires that you also define
the address of the default gateway and DNS server that are in use on your network.
To configure a static IP address, select Network > IP and configure the following fields:
Connection type
Select Static IP from the list to manually configure an IPv4 Ethernet address.
IP address
Set an address that is on the same subnet as the network to which the M220 will connect once
installed. Respect any DHCP server-mandated static address ranges.
