IP Assignment

The IP assignment setting in the Instant On mobile app allows you to configure internal/external DHCP and NAT for clients on employee networks or guest networks. You can configure one of the following settings on your device:

  • Same as local network (default)—This setting is referred to as Bridged mode. Clients will receive an IP address provided by a DHCP service on your local network. By default, the default network created during setup is assigned as your local network. To assign other networks, select the network from the Assigned network drop-down. The VLAN ID will be assigned to your network based on your network assignment. This option is enabled by default for employee networks.
  • Specific to this network—This setting is referred to as NAT mode. Clients will receive an IP address provided by your Instant On devices. Enter the Base IP address of the Instant On AP and select the client threshold from the Subnet mask drop-down list. This option is enabled by default for guest networks.

DNS Resolution

The DNS Resolution section allows you to configure servers assigned to clients and devices to resolve domain names.

Follow these steps to configure the DNS assignment for clients:

  1. Under IP Assignment > DNS resolution, select one of the following options.
    • Automatic(default)—This is the default setting. The DNS settings are automatically configured.
    • Static—Use this setting to configure a custom DNS server.
      • Primary DNS Server—Enter the hostname or IP address of the primary DNS server.
      • Secondary DNS Server—Enter the hostname or IP address of the secondary DNS server.
