Configuring Static IP Addresses on Distributed APs, Specifying IP Information, Specifying Switch

Page 147 highlights

Configuring Static IP Addresses on Distributed APs By default, Distributed APs use the procedure described in "How a Distributed AP Obtains an IP Address through DHCP" to obtain an IP address and connect to a switch. In some installations, DHCP may not be available. In such a case, you can manually assign static IP address information to the AP. You can also optionally specify the switch the Distributed AP uses as its boot device, and an 802.1Q VLAN tag to be applied to Ethernet frames emitted from the distributed AP. When you configure static IP information for a Distributed AP, it uses the boot procedure described in "How a Distributed AP Contacts a Switch (Statically Configured Address)" instead of the default boot procedure. Specifying IP Information To specify static IP address information for a Distributed AP, use the following command: set dap dap-num boot-ip ip ip-addr netmask mask-addr gateway gateway-addr [mode {enable | disable}] To configure Distributed AP 1 to use IP address 172.16.0.42 with a 24-bit netmask, and use 172.16.0.20 as its default router (gateway), type the following command: DWS-1008# set dap 1 boot-ip ip 172.16.0.42 netmask 255.255.255.0 gateway 172.16.0.20 mode enable success: change accepted. The next time the Distributed AP is booted, it will use the specified IP information. If the manually assigned IP information is incorrect, the AP uses DHCP to obtain its IP address, as described in "How a Distributed AP Obtains an IP Address through DHCP". Specifying Switch Information To specify the switch a Distributed AP contacts and attempts to use as its boot device, use the following command: set dap dap-num boot-switch [switch-ip ip-addr] [name name dns ip-addr] [mode {enable | disable}] You can specify the switch by its fully qualified domain name; in this case, you also specify the address of the DNS server used to resolve the switch's name. If you specify both the address of the switch, and the switch's name and DNS server address, then the AP ignores the switch's address and uses the name. D-Link DWS-1008 User Manual 128

Configuring Static IP Addresses on Distributed APs
By default, Distributed APs use the procedure described in “How a Distributed AP Obtains an IP Address
through DHCP” to obtain an IP address and connect to a switch. In some installations, DHCP may not
be available. In such a case, you can manually assign static IP address information to the AP.
You can also optionally specify the switch the Distributed AP uses as its boot device, and an 802.1Q
VLAN tag to be applied to Ethernet frames emitted from the distributed AP.
When you configure static IP information for a Distributed AP, it uses the boot procedure described in
“How a Distributed AP Contacts a Switch (Statically Configured Address)” instead of the default boot
procedure.
Specifying IP Information
To specify static IP address information for a Distributed AP, use the following command:
set dap
dap-num
boot-ip ip
ip-addr
netmask
mask-addr
gateway
gateway-addr
[mode {enable | disable}]
To configure Distributed AP 1 to use IP address 172.16.0.42 with a 24-bit netmask, and use 172.16.0.20
as its default router (gateway), type the following command:
DWS-1008#
set dap 1 boot-ip ip 172.16.0.42 netmask 255.255.255.0
gateway 172.16.0.20 mode enable
success: change accepted.
The next time the Distributed AP is booted, it will use the specified IP information. If the manually
assigned IP information is incorrect, the AP uses DHCP to obtain its IP address, as described in “How
a Distributed AP Obtains an IP Address through DHCP”.
Specifying Switch Information
To specify the switch a Distributed AP contacts and attempts to use as its boot device, use the following
command:
set dap
dap-num
boot-switch [switch-ip
ip-addr
] [name
name
dns
ip-addr
]
[mode {enable | disable}]
You can specify the switch by its fully qualified domain name; in this case, you also specify the address
of the DNS server used to resolve the switch’s name. If you specify both the address of the switch, and
the switch’s name and DNS server address, then the AP ignores the switch’s address and uses the
name.
