Study Notes
Wireless Router Overview
- Wireless routers serve remote workers, small branch offices, and home networks, combining a switch for wired clients, internet ports, and wireless components.
- Common features include WLAN security, DHCP services, NAT, and Quality of Service (QoS), with variations depending on the router model.
- Modem configurations for DSL or cable are typically performed by service providers.
Accessing the Wireless Router
- Default IP addresses, usernames, and passwords for wireless routers are readily available online, necessitating changes for security.
- Access the configuration GUI by entering the router's IP address in a web browser. Common default username and password is "admin".
Configuring WPA2 Enterprise WLAN
- Newly created WLANs on the Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) default to WPA2 with AES encryption and use 802.1X for RADIUS server communication.
- Steps to create a new WLAN include:
- Creating a new WLAN
- Configuring WLAN name and SSID
- Enabling WLAN for VLAN 5
- Verifying AES and 802.1X settings
- Configuring WLAN security for RADIUS
- Ensuring availability of the new WLAN
Detailed WLAN Configuration Steps
- Access the WLANs tab to create a new WLAN.
- Enter profile name and SSID, select an ID of 5, and click Apply.
- Change WLAN status to Enabled and associate it with VLAN 5, then click Apply and OK.
- Select the interface to carry WLAN traffic in the configuration.
- Use the Security tab for securing the WLAN.
- Use the WLANs menu to verify WLAN settings and monitor active clients via the Monitor tab.
Packet Tracer Lab
- A practical lab focuses on configuring a WLAN on the WLC, securing it, connecting a wireless host through an AP, and verifying connectivity.
SNMP and RADIUS Configuration
- PC-A operates SNMP and RADIUS, allowing the WLC to send SNMP log messages to the SNMP server.
- RADIUS serves for authentication, authorization, and accounting (AAA) services, requiring username and password verification.
Module Practice and Experience
- In practical activities, objectives include exploring wireless networks, adding Wi-Fi to various settings such as boardrooms and coffee shops, and extending connectivity to dead zones.
Key Takeaways
- Wireless routers combine essential components for both wired and wireless connectivity and are preconfigured for ease of use.
- Changing default login credentials to secure the router is critical.
- QoS can prioritize essential traffic such as voice and video.
- Lightweight Access Points (LAPs) utilize the LWAPP to communicate with the WLC, enhancing network efficiency.
