Setting the Ethernet (Wired) Interface
Configuring Internal Interface Ethernet Settings
To configure Ethernet (Wired) settings for the Internal LAN, fill in the fields as described
below.
Field
Field Description
MAC Address
VLAN ID
Connection Type
Description
Shows the MAC address for the Internal interface for the Ethernet port
on this access point. This is a read-only field that you cannot change.
If you configure enable Guest access and configure Internal and Guest
networks on "VLANs", this field will be enabled.
Provide a number between 1 and 4094 for the Internal VLAN.
This will cause the access point to send DHCP requests with the
VLAN tag. The switch and the DHCP server must support
802.1Q frames. The access point must be able to reach the DHCP
server.
Check with the Administrator regarding the VLAN and DHCP
configurations.
You can select "DHCP Client" or "Static IP".
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a protocol
specifying how a centralized server can provide network
configuration information to devices on the network. A DHCP server
"offers" a "lease" to the client system. The information supplied includes
the IP addresses and netmask plus the address of its DNS servers
and gateway.
Static IP indicates that all network settings are provided manually. You
must provide the IP address for the D-Link DWL-2210AP, its subnet
mask, the IP address of the default gateway, and the IP address of at
least one DNS nameserver. If you select "DHCP Client", the D-Link
DWL-2210AP will acquire its IP Address, subnet mask, and DNS and
gateway information from the DHCP Servers. Otherwise, if you select
"Static IP", fill in the items described in "Static IP Settings."
Caution: If you do not have a
do not plan to use one, the first thing you must do after bringing up the
AP is change the Connection Type from DHCP to Static IP. When you
change the Connection Type to Static IP, you can either assign a new
Static IP Address to the AP or continue using the default address. We
recommend assigning a new address so that if later you bring up
another D-Link DWL-2210AP on the same network, the IP addresses
for the two APs will be unique.
If you need to recover the default Static IP address, you can do so by
resetting the AP to the factory defaults as described in "Resetting the
Configuration" in this manual.
