Understanding Dynamic and Static IP
Addressing on the D-Link DWL-2210AP
When installed in a DHCP network (dynamic IP addressing), the D-Link DWL-2210APs
are designed to auto-configure, with very little setup required for the first access point
and no configuration required for additional access points subsequently joining a pre-
configured cluster.
How Does the Access Point Obtain an IP Address at Startup?
When you deploy the access point, it looks for a network DHCP server and, if it finds
one, obtains an IP address from the DHCP server. If no DHCP server is found on the
network, the AP will continue to use its default static IP address (192.168.0.50) until you
reassign it a new static IP address (and specify a static IP addressing policy) or until a
DHCP server is brought online.
If you configure both an Internal and Guest network and plan to use a dynamic
addressing policy for both, separate DHCP servers must be running on each
network.
A DHCP server is a requirement for the Guest network.
You must have the DWL-2210AP installed in a DHCP network in order to use
the Kickstart Wizard.
When you run the KickStart Wizard on the CD-ROM, it discovers the D-Link
DWL-2210APs on the network and lists their IP addresses and MAC addresses. In
DHCP networks, KickStart Wizard also provides a link to the administration Web pages
of each access point using the IP address in the URL. (For more information about the
KickStart Wizard, see “Run KickStart Wizard to find access points on the network” in
this manual.)
Dynamic IP Addressing
The D-Link DWL-2210AP generally expects that a DHCP server is running on the network
where the AP is deployed. Most home and small business networks already have DHCP
service provided either via a gateway device or a centralized server. However, if no DHCP
server is present on the Internal network, the AP will use the default static IP address for
first time startup.
Similarly, wireless clients and other network devices (such as printers) will receive their
IP addresses from the DHCP server, if there is one. If no DHCP server is present on the
network, you must manually assign static IP addresses to your wireless clients and
other network devices.
The Guest network must have a DHCP server.
