IP Host Setup

Access Point IP Address:

Use the ip address command to set the system's IP address and mask.

Hostname(config)#ip address 10.0.1.201 255.255.255.0
Hostname(config)#

External router to which the Access Point connects:

Use the ip default-route command to specify the default router (also known as the default gateway).

Use the ip ttl command to specify the Time To Live (TTL) counter. The Time To Live counter (TTL) avoids endless forwarding of message frames with incorrect addressing by defining a maximum numbers of passes the packet can survive. Each time the frame is forwarded by a router, the TTL counter decreases by one. When the TTL = 0, the packet is dropped by the router.
