a. Select the Enable WAN Interface checkbox to enable a connection

between the access point and a larger network or outside world through

the WAN port. Disable this option to effectively isolate the access point’s

WAN connection. No connections to a larger network or the Internet will be

possible. Clients cannot communicate beyond the configured subnets.

b. Select the This Interface is a DHCP Client checkbox to enable DHCP for the

access point WAN connection. This is useful, if the target corporate

network or Internet Service Provider (ISP) uses DHCP. DHCP is a protocol

that includes mechanisms for IP address allocation and delivery of

host-specific configuration parameters from a DHCP server to a host.

Some of these parameters are IP address, network mask, and gateway.

• Brocade recommends the WAN and LAN ports should not both be configured

as DHCP clients.

c. Specify an IP address for the access point’s WAN connection. An IP

address uses a series of four numbers expressed in dot notation, for

example, 190.188.12.1.
