Static IP Address Settings for the Wireless Access Points

  • Article

After you have configured DHCP Server, you need to reserve static IP addresses for your two wireless access points. By reserving static IP addresses for the access points, you ensure that the access points will always be assigned the same, previously specified, IP address. This facilitates accessing the Web-based configuration pages for the access points.

For information about how to reserve static IP addresses for your access points, open DHCP from Administrative Tools, and from the Help menu choose Help Topics. In the DHCP Server Help, search for "Add a client reservation."

When you reserve static IP addresses for your access points, make the following choices:

  • In the New Reservation dialog box assign the following values to each access point.

    Reservation name IP address
    CE8021x 10.11.0.11
    CEWPA 10.11.0.12

  • Provide a MAC address and a description for each access point. To obtain the MAC address for each access point, refer to the product-specific documentation.

    DHCP will assign a static IP address to the access points listed in this table. You also have to specify the static IP address on the configuration page for each access point.

  • In the console tree, right-click the server node, and then choose Authorize.

  • Connect your 802.1x access point to the server.

    After a connection is established, the server assigns the appropriate reserved address to your access point.

    To verify that the DHCP server has assigned the appropriate address to your access point, open the Web browser on TESTSERVER, and type the IP address of your access point in the address bar. The configuration page appears in your browser window.
