Connecting to the Access Point Console Port Telnet Web Browser As designed, manage Cisco Aironet Access Point using a Web browser. Telnet and Console port menus are much more difficult to utilize. To set an IP address you can either use DHCP or the Cisco Aironet IP Setup utility (IPSU).

“Force an IP via DHCP” and cross-over cable Make sure that the IPSU is installed on your laptop. You must also have a wireless adapter and an RF connection with the access point on which you want to change the IP address. The IPSU is available as a download from the Cisco website. Double-click the IPSU icon on your computer desktop to start IPSU. Make sure Set Parameters is selected in the Function box. In the Device MAC ID field, enter the MAC address as it appears on the label on the bottom of the access point. It should contain six pairs of hexadecimal digits separated by periods or dashes. In the IP Address field, enter the IP address you want to assign to the access point. The IP address should be on the same subnet as the device to which you will connect the access point. In the SSID field, enter the SSID you want to assign to the access point. You cannot set the SSID without also setting the IP address. However, you can set the IP address without setting the SSID. Click Set Parameters. IP address is set on the access point. This is best done through a Ethernet connection.

Important ! Consider the AP as a bridge AP extends wired features to the wireless BVI : Bridge Virtual Interface From which you manage the AP FastEthernet0 is the first interface Dot11Radio0 is the second interface 802.11 is simply another interface on AP
