Hello everyone,
I am configuring a Cisco wireless AP and the IP address used to access the device is, let's say 192.168.1.1. I know that this wireless AP is a layer 2 device and that this IP address is used to access and manage the device, but my question is:
How is it possible to access the web-based setup page of this device (http://192.168.1.1) via either the wireless interface or Ethernet interface? Does it mean these two interfaces are bridged?
The reason why I am asking is because as far as I know, the IP address assigned by default to a wireless AP is similar to an IP address we assign to a switch when we want to trace and manage it on a network or VLAN, which is interface-VLAN x or SVI x in this case. Am I right or is there anything I am missing here?
Any clarification is appreciated and I would love to hear your opinions as well on this matter, thanks.

Before you install the wireless device, make sure you are using a computer connected to the same network as the wireless device, and obtain the following information from your network administrator:
But this can be changed according ap's model.

- Well if you need to still configure it , there will be no valid wireless configuration , including SSID's and functional radio's, so you are limited to access via Ethernet.
