Understanding Dynamic And Static IP Addressing On The 9160 G2 Wireless Gateway
3.4  Understanding Dynamic And Static IP Addressing On 
The 9160 G2 Wireless Gateway
9160 G2 Wireless Gateways 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.
3.4.1  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 
(192.168.1.10) until you re-assign it a new static IP address (and specify a static IP 
addressing policy) or until a DHCP server is brought online.
Notes: If you configure both an Internal and Guest network and plan to use a 
dynamic addressing policy for both, separate DHCP servers must be run-
ning on each network.
A DHCP server is a requirement for the Guest network.
3.4.2  Dynamic IP Addressing
The 9160 G2 Wireless Gateway 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 defaulStatic 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 exists 
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.
