Using the console cable and console port to control it.14.2 Basic Topics 209 .If an IP address is available to log in to it remotely.You can browse it with a Web browser if you have an IP address.Access via SSH (preferred over remote login) if relevant configuration is available.You may be wondering how to get an IP address for an autonomous AP, and the answer is simple: use DHCP. simply plug the autonomous AP into power and the AP will automatically get its own address. However, note that the device is not configured with a Service Set Identifier (SSID, ServiceSetIdentifier) by default, and the radio is turned off by default, as is the case for all IOS versions after 12.3(4)JA. In fact, there is a yellow sticker on the autonomous AP shell stating this. When you think about why this is the case, you will realize that this is a good security mechanism. When you're in the heat of installing an AP, you don't have to worry about someone connecting to the AP °If you want to find the AP when it is using a dynamic address, you can try to get the IP address of the AP from a DHCP server. You may or may not have access to this DHCP server. You can also use the Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP, Cisco DiscoveryProtocol) on the switch connected to the AP, or sometimes you can use the show arp | include mac-address command (assuming the IP address is in the CAM table), or you can use the software developed by Cisco called IPSetupUtility, as shown in Figure 14-1. IP SetupUtility obtains the AP's MAC address and resolves the IP address associated with it. This MAC address can be obtained from a label on the AP.Figure 14.1 IP Setup UtilityAfter obtaining an IP address, the AP can be accessed through a web browser. To quickly configure the settings of the AP, you can use the ExpressSetup and ExpressSecurity pages.
