Just turn them on, they're a layer 2 bridge so don't care anything about
dhcp or dns.

You don't say how many you're trying to configure or whether you want
roaming or whether they're overlapping.

If you want to roam, configure the same SSID and use channels 1, 6, 11
in a non overlapping fashion.

If you don't want to roam or they don't overlap it doesn't matter.

The access points only need an address for management or communications
with say a RADIUS server but you didn't mention that either so i'll
presume you don't.
