IP and Network Assignment

The IP and network assignment setting in the Aruba 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 wireless 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.
