Preparing the
wireless network
To use the wireless features of your switch, you must first connect a
DHCP server to the switch. The DHCP server is required to assign IP
address to the managed access points. If you are already using a cable,
DSL, or traditional router to access the Internet, you may use this router’s
DHCP functionality to provide IP addresses to the access points.Refer to
the figure below.
