9.6.1 Access Point IP Address
The IP address, broadcast address, and netmask associated with an access point interface
can be viewed, but not directly changed through the CLI or web GUI. To set the IP address to
the desired value, modify the node ID, mesh ID, and LAN prefix parameters (see sections 6.3
and 6.5). You can view the resulting settings for the AP interface with either the CLI or the web
GUI.
CLI
You can view the IP configuration settings for the AP interface with the „ip.*‟ parameters in the
„wlanN‟ interface as shown in the example below.
> use wlan1
wlan1> get ip.address
ip.address = 10.2.4.1
wlan1> get ip.broadcast
ip.broadcast = 10.2.4.127
wlan1> get ip.gateway
ip.gateway =
wlan1> get ip.netmask
ip.netmask = 255.255.255.128
Web GUI
The access points‟ IP settings are available through the web interface on the “Status” page.
9.6.2 IP Configuration of Clients Devices via DHCP
The EnRoute500 can be set to serve IP addresses to clients on the access point interfaces
using DHCP. Two distinct modes for providing IP addresses via DHCP exist. These are
described in depth in section 10.
9.6.3 Manual IP Configuration of Client Devices
Client devices that use static IP addresses must have an IP address that is within the subnet
of the access point interface that they connect to.
If the local DHCP server is enabled for an access point interface, IP addresses must be
reserved for statically configured devices by setting the DHCP reserve parameter. This will
reserve the specified number of IP addresses at the bottom of the IP range for the interface.
For example, if the interface has the IP address 10.2.4.1, the netmask 255.255.255.128, and
the DHCP reserve value 5, the IP addresses 10.2.4.2 through 10.2.4.6 will be available for
