Configuring the Clients
Clarisa has now finished configuring the switch. Next, she configures the wired clients.
Going to each device, she gives it the IP address and other networking information that it will need to communicate with the switch:
Client | IP Address | Subnet Mask | Gateway | WS 2000 | |
Port | |||||
|
|
|
| ||
Wired POS | 192.168.0.4 | 255.255.255.0 | 192.168.0.1 | 4 | |
terminal #1 | |||||
|
|
|
| ||
Wired POS | 192.168.0.5 | 255.255.255.0 | 192.168.0.1 | 5 | |
terminal #2 | |||||
|
|
|
| ||
Server | 192.168.0.6 | 255.255.255.0 | 192.168.0.1 | 6 | |
|
|
|
|
| |
Then she does the same thing with the wireless clients: |
|
| |||
Client type | WLAN ESSID | Wireless | Authentication | Encryption | |
channel | |||||
|
|
|
| ||
Wireless POS | 3 | 802.1x EAP | |||
terminals | |||||
|
|
|
| ||
Handheld | 3 | 802.1x EAP | |||
terminals | |||||
|
|
|
| ||
Wireless printers | 7 | None | WEP | ||
|
|
|
|
|
The remaining tasks are to test the network and to put the Access Ports in their permanent locations.
Testing Connections
Clarisa powers up several sample devices and tests them, to be sure that they work as configured. She tests whether the devices can connect to the wireless switch and whether they can connect to devices on other subnets.
After she is confident that everything is working, she moves the Access Ports to their permanent locations. She connects the WS 2000 to the DSL modem. Finally, she tests the connection from each subnet to the WAN.
The store network is now complete!
