Cisco Cisco Aironet 1400 Wireless Bridge Installation Guide

System Name—The system name provides an identifier for the bridge. The 
default system name is Bridge.

Configuration Server Protocol—Click the button that matches your 
network’s method of IP address assignment:

DHCP—IP addresses are automatically assigned by your network’s 
DHCP server. This is the default setting unless a DHCP server cannot be 
found. 

Static IP—IP addresses are assigned manually.

IP Address—Displays the current IP address. The default IP address is 
10.0.0.1. Use this setting to assign or change the bridge’s IP address. Use the 
IP setup utility (IPSU) to determine the IP address if it was assigned by a 
DHCP server. See Chapter 4 of the Cisco Aironet 1400 Series Wireless Bridge 
Hardware Installation Guide. 

IP Subnet Mask—Enter the IP subnet mask. The default IP subnet mask is 
255.255.255.224. The subnet mask determines the subnet to which the 
bridge’s IP address belongs. If DHCP is not enabled for your network, the IP 
and subnet address you enter is the bridge’s IP and subnet address. If DHCP 
is enabled, these two fields provide the IP and subnet mask address only if no 
server responds to the bridge’s DHCP request.

Default Gateway—Enter the default gateway IP address. The default 
gateway IP address is 0.0.0.0. The default gateway is the node on your 
network that serves as an entrance to another network.
