Configuring WLAN IP Settings

With a network profile, you can configure WLAN IP settings for your devices and schedule when those settings will be applied. The options include:

Manage IP Assignment

Allows you to manage the IP addresses assigned to your mobile devices. You can choose to use either a DHCP server or IP pool assignment.

Server Address

Provides mobile devices with the server address. You can provide the address, DNS name, or use the server location value. If you choose to use the server location value, the mobile devices use the mask/address of the server to which the device connects.

If using a DNS name, click Validate to ensure the address can be resolved. If the mobile device profile has provided a server address, that address will override whatever is provided by the network profile.

Gateway Address

Provides mobile devices with the address for the node that handles traffic with devices outside the subnet. You can provide the address, DNS name, or use the server location value.

Subnet Mask

Provides mobile devices with the subnet mask. You can provide the address, DNS name, or use the server location value.

Domain Name System (DNS)

Provides the domain name to the devices.

Primary DNS

Provides mobile devices with the IP address for a primary DNS.

Secondary

Provides mobile devices with the IP address for a secondary DNS (used if the primary DNS is unavailable).

Tertiary

Provides mobile devices with the IP address for a tertiary DNS (used if the primary and secondary DNS are unavailable).

(Infrastructure Device IP Settings) Manage IP Assignment

Allows you to manage the IP addresses assigned to your infrastructure devices with a DHCP server.
