If the bridge is new and its factory configuration has not been changed, the Express Setup page appears; if the bridge has been configured, the Summary Status page appears. If you are on the Summary Status page, press s to select Setup, then press ex to select the Express Setup page. Press n and then press Enter to select System Name.

Press pr and then press Enter to select Config Server Protocol. Note Cisco recommends assigning a static IP address to your bridge to simplify network management and to prevent delays in receiving an address through DHCP. To assign a static IP address to your bridge, select None from the Configuration Server Protocol menu and enter the IP address for the bridge in the Default IP Address field. Step 9 Step 10 Step 11 Step 12 Select one of the following options: • Press n to select None. This setting is used when you want to manually assign a static IP address to your bridge or your network does not have a working automatic system for IP address assignment. • Press b to select BOOTP-With Bootstrap Protocol, IP addresses are hard-coded based on MAC addresses. • Press d to select DHCP-With Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, IP addresses are "leased" for predetermined periods of time. Press Enter after you make your selection. Press ad and then press Enter to select IP Address. Enter an IP address for the bridge. If DHCP is not enabled, the IP address you enter is the bridge's static IP address. If DHCP is enabled, the address you enter provides the IP address only when no DHCP server responds with an IP address for the bridge. Press Enter when you have completed your entry. Press su and then press Enter to select IP Subnet Mask. Enter an IP subnet mask to identify the subnetwork so the bridge's IP address can be recognized on the LAN. If DHCP is not enabled, the subnet you enter is the static subnet mask. If DHCP is enabled, your entry provides the subnet mask only when no DHCP server responds to the bridge's DHCP request. Press Enter when you have completed your entry. Press g and then press Enter to select Default Gateway. Enter the IP address of your default internet gateway. The entry 255.255.255.255 indicates no gateway. Press Enter when you have completed your entry. Press ra and then press Enter to select Radio Service Set ID (SSID). Enter an SSID for the bridge. The SSID is a unique identifier that client devices use to associate with the bridge. The SSID can be any alphanumeric entry from 2 to 32 characters long. Press Enter when you have completed your entry. OL-1412-01 Cisco Aironet 350 Series Bridge Hardware Installation Guide 3-11
