Which interface do you use to configure the IP address?
You are configuring an IP address on an autonomous access point. Which interface do you use to
configure the IP address?
Assigning the IP Address to the BVI When you assign an IP address to the access point by using the CLI, you must assign the address to the bridge-group virtual interface (BVI).
Beginning in a privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to assign an IP address to the access point BVI using the access point console port.
Command Purpose
=======================
Step 1 configure terminal Enter global configuration mode.
Step 2 interface bvil Enters interface configuration mode for the BVI.
Step 3 ip address ip_address net_mask Assigns an IP address and subnet mask address to the BVI.
BVI = Bridged Virtual Interface.
It’s a logic mechanism that allows a collection of interfaces (like B/G/A radios, Ethernet, etc) to be collectively bridged to each other (the collection of interfaces appear as a single logical interface) and routed to the other interfaces (per protocol).
In the case of the AP, it would allow all of the interfaces to be collectively assigned an IP address (and / or sub-divided into sub-interfaces for multi-SSID / multi-VLAN configurations) for management.
