Configuring IP Addresses of Peers and APs in the Switch
You can configure up to 256 IP addresses for potential peer switches and APs in the D-Link Unified Switch. The switch sends
association invitations to all IP addresses in this list. If the device accepts the invitation and is successfully validated by the
switch, the switch and the AP or peer switch are associated.
This discovery method mechanism is useful for peer switch discovery and AP discovery when the devices are in different IP
subnets. In fact, for a switch to recognize a peer that is not on the same subnet, you must configure the IP addresses of each
switch in the peer's L3 discovery list.
Note: The list of IP addresses is separate and independent from the list of valid managed APs. Devices
discovered through this list might not be valid APs or switches.
Note: If an AP has already been discovered through another method, the Unified Switch will not poll the IP
address of the AP.

To view the IP address of the AP, log on to the AP as described in
management command.
Use the following procedures to add the IP address of a peer switch or AP to the discovery list by using the Web interface:
1 Use a browser to log on to the D-Link Unified Switch.
2 From the Navigation menu, click Administration > Basic Setup, then select the Discovery tab.
3 Clear the check box for L2/IP Discovery to prevent the switch from sending L2 Discovery messages.
4 Make sure the check box for L3/IP Discovery is selected and add the range of peer switch or D-Link Access Point IP
addresses in the From and To fields next to IP Address Range.
If the IP addresses are non-contiguous or if you only want to add one IP address, enter the the address in the From field,

Table 8: L3/IP Discovery

Description
This check box is used to enable or disable IP-based discovery of access points and peer
Unified Switches. When checked, IP polling is enabled and the switch will periodically poll
each address in the configured IP List. By default, L3/IP Discovery is enabled.
The list of IP addresses configured for discovery, to remove entries from the list select one or
more entries and press the delete button. There are no default entries, the maximum number
of entries supported is 256.
This text field is used to add a range of IP address entries to the IP List. Enter the IP address
at the start of the address range in the From field, and enter the IP address at the end of the
range in the To field, then click Add. All IP addresses in the range are added to the IP List.
Once all desired entries are added, click Submit to save the list in the running configuration.
Note: To add a single IP address, enter the address in the From field and leave the To field
blank, then click Add.
