 AirPort Network Designs

 

Click Base Station Options to adjust WAN Ethernet port settings. You can select to 
enable SNMP access, remote configuration, or remote printer access. You can also turn 
off the Ethernet WAN port on an AirPort Extreme Base Station or the Ethernet port on 
an AirPort Express.

Click Logging/NTP to set up base station logging and the IP address of a syslog host 
computer. You can also choose the Network Time Protocol (NTP) server. The NTP server 
is necessary to ensure the base station date and time are set automatically, and the 
base station log messages are correct.

If you have a printer connected to an AirPort Extreme Base Station or an AirPort 
Express, you can change the name of the printer. Click USB Printer, and then double-
click the name of the printer and enter a new name.

Configuring and Sharing Internet Access

The next step is setting up your base station’s Internet connection and sharing its 
Internet access with client computers. The following three sections tell you what to do, 
depending on how your base station connects to the Internet.

In most cases, you can implement this network design with the AirPort Setup Assistant. 
You only need to use AirPort Admin Utility to adjust optional advanced base station 
settings.
