Assigning a Static IP Address to Your Access Point or Switch

In some networks, it is necessary to assign a specific IP address to your access point or switch. 

Configuring a Static IP

1. Navigate to the Devices page on the controller.
2. Click on the device you wish to assign the IP address to (the Properties page will appear on the right-hand side).
3. Go to Settings > IP Settings.
4. Select Static IP and enter the static IP details.

Fill in the fields according to your network configuration:

• IP Address: The address you wish to assign to the device.
• Preferred DNS: The IP used for DNS (commonly Google's DNS 8.8.8.8 or your ISP's DNS).
• Subnet Mask: The subnet set up on your router (usually 255.255.255.0 unless otherwise specified).
• Alternate DNS: Another IP used for DNS (such as 8.8.4.4, 1.1.1.1, ISP DNS, or left blank).
• Gateway IP: The IP address of your router.
• DNS Suffix: A domain name that is added to an unqualified hostname to create a fully qualified domain name (FQDN)

**IMPORTANT** Ensure that all settings are correct before queuing and saving the changes. Incorrect settings can make the device inaccessible, requiring a reset. If you encounter any issues or have any questions, please contact us.
