Review / Describe the Access Point
Field Description
IP Address The IP address assigned to this access point. This field is not editable because
the IP address is already assigned (either via DHCP, or statically through the
Ethernet (wired) settings as described in “Configuring Guest Interface Ethernet
(Wired) Settings” on page 95).
MAC Address The MAC address of the access point.
A MAC address is a permanent, unique hardware address for any device that
represents an interface to the network. The MAC address is assigned by the
manufacturer. You cannot change the MAC address. It is displayed for infor-
mational purposes as a unique identifier for an interface.
The address shown here is the MAC address for the bridge ( br0 ). This is the
address by which the access point is known externally to other networks.
To see MAC addresses for Guest and Internal interfaces on the access point,
go to the Status menu and view the Interface tab.
