Static IP on Client IP

AdrienDumontet — Tue, 02 Jan 2024 09:33:34 GMT

Hello,
I need sometimes to install my wireless ap on different places that require a static ip adress to connect to the web, but I cannot change the IP that is assigned at first manually on 10.128.128.128, The thing I need to change is the "Client IP" thats is actually for example 10.68.254.81 to an adress like 192.168.151.5.
The only way I found for now is to use a utilitary that's called tftpd32 that simulate a dhcp server on a computer but that doesn't allways works.

My AP is a Meraki MR36 by the way

Could I get some help please ?

- In essence DHCP based solutions are considered a must have standard for wireless clients, get a robust DHCP server/service

I know but I would like to do it in a different way that with DHCP because we cannot deploy DHCP on every site for some reasons.

- In all honesty that is an outdated vision , and not applicable for modern business servicing ,

You can configure a static IP address using the local status page.
https://documentation.meraki.com/General_Administration/Tools_and_Troubleshooting/Using_the_Cisco_Meraki_Device_Local_Status_Page#MR_Series

However if will be easier to use a temporary DHCP server (so the MR can connect to the Meraki cloud), and then change it to using a static IP address via the dashboard.
