Hello,
I am trying to deploy AP105s for remote location.
What I need to do is to hard-code AP's IP address by following steps:
1. Connect serial cable with 9600-8-N-1 to AP105's CONSOLE Port.
2. Power on AP105.
3. When "Hit <Enter> to stop autoboot: 0" is displayed, hit enter.
4. Enter following parameters:
apboot> setenv ipaddr 172.200.210.110
apboot>setenv netmask 255.255.255.0
apboot>setenv gateway 172.200.210.1
apboot>setenv master 172.200.210.89 (This is the Controller's IP address where this AP initially points to)
apboot>save
apboot>reset
During boot process, I observed what IP address was assigned to this AP.
172.200.210.100 255.255.255.0 172.200.210.1
Running ADP...Done. Master is 172.200.210.89
Even though I set hard-coded IP address 172.200.210.110,
this AP chose DHCP-assigned IP address 172.200.210.100.
I know we can set 172.200.210.110 on AP Installation - Provision screen,
but I just want to know why DHCP-assigned IP address overrides hard-coded IP address.
I guess there is a method to prioritise hard-coded IP address,but I don't know.
If anyone knows the best practice to hard-code IP address and ship them to the remote location for deployment,
much appreciate your help.
