For the SSID to be assigned to a W-IAP, the same zone details must be configured on the SSID. For more information on SSID configuration, see Configuring WLAN Settings for an SSID Profile on page 78. In the Instant UI 1. On the Access Points tab, click the W-IAP for which you want to set the zone. The edit link is displayed. 2. Click the edit link. The edit window for modifying W-IAP details is displayed. 3. Specify the W-IAP zone in Zone. 4. Click OK. In the CLI To change the name: (Instant AP)# zone Specifying a Method for Obtaining IP Address You can either specify a static IP address or allow the W-IAP to obtain an IP address from the DHCP server. By default, the W-IAPs obtain IP address from the DHCP server. You can specify a static IP address for the W-IAP by using the Instant UI or the CLI. In the Instant UI To configure a static IP address: 1. On the Access Points tab, click the W-IAP to modify. 2. Click the edit link. 3. Select Specify statically option to specify a static IP address. The following text boxes are displayed: a. Enter a new IP address for the W-IAP in the IP address text box. b. Enter the subnet mask of the network in the Netmask text box. c. Enter the IP address of the default gateway in the Default gateway text box. d. Enter the IP address of the DNS server in the DNS server text box. e. Enter the domain name in the Domain name text box. 4. Click OK and reboot the W-IAP. In the CLI To configure a static IP address: (Instant AP)# ip-address When IAP-VPN is not configured or IPsec tunnel to the controller is down, DNS query from the client that is associated to the master W-IAP is taken by DNS proxy function on the master W-IAP. So, if the DNS server address for the the master W-IAP is set (by dnsip or from DHCP server), the DNS query will be sent to the DNS server by the master W-IAP. But if the DNS server address is not set, the DNS query will not be sent by the master W-IAP. However, the DNS query from the client that is associated to the slave W-IAP is not affected to this behavior. 64 | Customizing W-IAP Settings Dell Networking W-Series Instant 6.5.1.0-4.3.1.0 | User Guide

Specifying a Method for Obtaining IP Address
You can either specify a static IP address or allow the W-IAP to obtain an IP address from the DHCP server. By
default, the W-IAPs obtain IP address from the DHCP server. You can specify a static IP address for the W-IAP
by using the Instant UI or the CLI.

address for the the master W-IAP is set (by dnsip or from DHCP server), the DNS query will be sent to the
DNS server by the master W-IAP. But if the DNS server address is not set, the DNS query will not be sent by
the master W-IAP. However, the DNS query from the client that is associated to the slave W-IAP is not
