Cisco 3700 Access Point static IP assignment

[soknetworkops]

Hello,

Able to access console on the 3700 AP yet unable to find any commands that permit the assignment of a static IP and mask?

It depends on the kind of IOS software currently running on your access-point, below the examples for both autonomous and Controller based.

Autonomous

AP#conf t
AP(config)#int bvI 1
AP(config-if)# ip address <IP> <subnetmask>
AP(config-if)# exit
AP(config)#ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 <IP GW>

Controller based

AP#capwap ap ip address <IP> <subnetmask>
AP#capwap ap ip default-gateway <IP GW>
AP#test capwap restart

Optionally to statically configure the WLC to join:
AP#capwap ap controller ip address <Management IP of the WLC>

Please rate useful posts :-)

I need your help. I have cisco 2702 AP which is controller based 2504 WLAN. I want to configure AP 2702 with the controller for which i need to give static managemnt IP. I dont want that an AP can get IP from my DHCP server. Can someone share a basic cli configuration template so that I can manage my AP with static management IP.

First AP resetting to factory default, it will always takes 10.0.0.1.

So you can use GUI simple to change the ip of the AP ,but be sure the Computer ip is also like 10.0.0.2

Further more if the AP don't have console we use telnet/ssh or if it has then we connect the AP directly with computer under same subnet ip then issue the command.

AP#conf terminal

AP(config)#interface bvI 1

AP(config-if)# ip address <IP> <subnetmask>

Please mark the answer correct if its helpful.

Try these commands if you are in CAPWAP mode:

debug capwap console cli  -  enter this to be able to enter the global config mode

capwap ap ip address <IP> <mask>

capwap ap ip default-gateway <IP>

capwap ap controller ip address <IP>

sh capwap ip config - to verify your config

Then save your config
