Learn how to configure network settings like switching between Dynamic and Static IP, modifying radio modes (example: WGB, uWGB, Root AP, Scan), enabling NAT, creating NAT rules, and setting local IPv4 addresses to efficiently manage IP configurations and radio modes.


The IP address used for accessing Cisco WGB Web UI can be set as either static or through DHCP to enhance the operational efficiency. With this approach, you can switch from static IP to dynamic IP and dynamic IP to static IP.


Switch from static IP to dynamic IP

This procedure describes how to change a static IP address to a dynamic IP address.

You can switch from a static IP to dynamic IP allocation to enable automatic IP address assignment. This change simplifies network management by removing the need for manual configuration and by reducing the risk of IP conflicts. It also helps conserve IP resources, as addresses are assigned dynamically only when devices are connected.

Procedure

1.

Choose Network > Management Interface .

2.

Select auxiliary-client .

3.

Change Static to DHCP from IPv4 Type drop-down.

4.

Click Update & apply to device .


Switch from dynamic IP to static IP

This procedure describes how to change a dynamic IP address to a static IP address.

You can switch from dynamic IP to static IP allocation to assign a fixed IP address to a device. This ensures consistent network identification, improves reliability for devices like servers or printers, and simplifies tasks such as port forwarding or troubleshooting by keeping the IP address unchanged.

Procedure

1.

Choose Network > Management Interface.

2.

Select auxiliary-client in Interface .

3.

Change DHCP to Static in the IPv4 Type drop-down.

4.

Update:

  • Static IP Address : specify the manually assigned IP.

  • Network Mask : specify the network and host portions of an IP address.

  • Gateway IP : specify the IP address of the router that interconnects networks.

  • DNS1 IP : specify the IP address of the primary DNS server.
