Understanding How the Access Point Obtains an IP Address

This topic describes how the access point obtains an IP address.

By default, the DHCP client on the AX411 Access Point automatically broadcasts requests for an IP address and other network information when the access point is powered on. At its initial startup, the access point obtains its IP address from the DHCP server on the SRX Series device. After the access point has established a connection to the SRX Series device, you can configure static IP and default gateway addresses for the access point.

When the access point obtains an IP address from a DHCP server, you can run one of the following CLI operational mode commands to view the IP address of the access point:

  • user@host> show wlan access-points name
  • user@host> show wlan access-points name detail
