This object is used to change the fixed or 'remembered' IP address of an Access Point. When there is a DHCP/BOOTP server on the network, this variable is not needed. When there is no DHCP/BOOTP server for the IP subnet, the Access Point will try to use the IP address gotten from a previous BOOTP reply (which gives an infinite lease) or an infinite DHCP lease. When there was no previous BOOTP reply, the Access Point can be given an IP address using this variable. Also when the current IP address of the Access Point is invalid for the current IP subnet, this variable can be set by sending an SNMP SET request to the multicast address 224.0.1.43. The MAC address included here ensures that only the right Access Point will accept the SET Request. The IP address given through this variable is considered an infinite lease by the Access Point. The format of this variable is as follows: MAC Address: 6 octets IP Address: 4 octets (network byte order) IP Subnet Mask: 4 octets (network byte order) IP Default Router: 4 octets (network byte order)
