Chapter 2 Configuring the Bridge for the First Time Figure 2-4 IPSU Set Parameters Screen Assigning an IP Address Using the CLI Step 3 Enter the bridge's MAC address in the Device MAC ID field. The bridge's MAC address is printed on a label on the bridge. It should contain six pairs of hexadecimal digits. Your bridge's MAC address might look like this example: 004096xxxxxx Note The MAC address field is not case-sensitive. Step 4 Enter the IP address you want to assign to the bridge in the IP Address field. Step 5 Enter the SSID you want to assign to the bridge in the SSID field. Note You cannot set the SSID without also setting the IP address. However, you can set the IP address without setting the SSID. Step 6 Step 7 Click Set Parameters to change the bridge's IP address and SSID settings. Click Exit to exit IPSU. Assigning an IP Address Using the CLI When you connect the bridge to the wired LAN, the bridge links to the network using a bridge virtual interface (BVI) that it creates automatically. Instead of tracking separate IP addresses for the bridge's Ethernet and radio ports, the network uses the BVI. Note The bridge supports only one BVI. Configuring more than one BVI might cause errors in the bridge's ARP table. OL-4059-01 Cisco Aironet 1400 Series Wireless Bridges Software Configuration Guide 2-11
