• BRID: The bridge ID number displays two values: the bridge’s priority setting is the value
to the left of the decimal point (default is 8000), the lowest MAC address in the
AP/Bridge is to the right of the decimal point. The priority setting is used by spanning
tree protocol to determine which bridge has priority when multiple AP/Bridges are used
in a network. If the priority setting of all bridges is the same, the lowest MAC address
is used to determine priority.
• RX PACKET INFORMATION: This area lists information about packets that have been
received by this bridge.
• TX PACKET INFORMATION: This area lists information about packets that have been sent
by this bridge.
• Delete (bridge name): Delete the specified bridge.
• Make Changes: Put your changes into effect.
Network>DHCP
The Wi-Fi AP/Bridge can assign IP addresses to other devices on the network using dynamic host
control protocol (DHCP) server operation. This is typically used to assign IP addresses to wireless
clients as they associate with the Wi-Fi AP/Bridge. See "Dynamic Assignment of Client IP
Addresses" on page 153.
After being created, a DHCP server must be enabled before it can be used.
• Interface Assignment: Select the interface to use as the DHCP server.
• IP Pool Start: Enter the starting IP address in the range of address to assign to DHCP-enabled
clients.
Caution
The IP address of the default bridge (br0) is used to access the AP/Bridge for initial
configuration. If you delete this bridge before assigning an IP address to a different
bridge, VLAN, or Ethernet interface, you will lose connection to the AP/Bridge when
the bridge is deleted and you will not be able to re-access the configuration web
pages. In this case, you have to configure the AP/Bridge using the command line
interface (CLI) through the AP/Bridge’s RS-232 serial port to assign an accessible IP
address.
