Change Ip Address And Vlan Settings On A Controller-Managed Access Point - NETGEAR ProSAFE WC7500 User Manual

Change IP Address and VLAN Settings on a
Controller-Managed Access Point
By default, a controller-managed access point functions as a DHCP client. The only reason to
manually change the IP address settings on a controller-managed access point is that you
must assign a static IP address to the access point.
Make sure that the new IP address is in the same Layer 2 or Layer 3 network as the wireless
controller, otherwise the wireless controller cannot reach the access point after you change
the IP address.
If you configure a static IP address for the access point, you must also specify the IP address
of the wireless controller.
You can also change the VLAN settings. However, if you change the VLAN, make sure that
you configure the correct management VLAN ID and state whether it is tagged or untagged,
otherwise the wireless controller cannot reach the access point after you change the VLAN
settings.
