Study Notes
Wireless Router Overview
- Integrated routers cater to remote workers, small branch offices, and home networks.
- Features commonly included: switch for wired clients, WAN port for internet, and wireless client access.
- Additional functions: WLAN security, DHCP services, NAT, QoS, and more, varying by model.
Logging into the Wireless Router
- Default IP addresses, usernames, and passwords are widely available online.
- Initial step for security: change default credentials after logging in through a web browser.
- Common default username and password is "admin."
Basic Network Setup Steps
- Log into the router using the default credentials.
- Change the default administrative password for enhanced security.
- Adjust DHCP IPv4 addresses and renew the IP as necessary.
Basic Wireless Setup Steps
- Review WLAN default settings and modify network mode based on the chosen 802.11 standard.
- Configure the SSID and select the appropriate channel, avoiding overlap.
- Choose a security mode (e.g., Open, WPA, WPA2) and set a passphrase.
Configuring a Wireless Mesh Network
- A single wireless router is often sufficient for small networks.
- To extend range beyond roughly 45 meters indoors and 90 meters outdoors, establish a wireless mesh network.
WLAN Configuration on the Wireless LAN Controller (WLC)
- Topology with a controller-based Access Point (AP) does not require initial configuration, known as lightweight APs (LAPs).
- LAPs communicate with WLC using Lightweight Access Point Protocol (LWAPP).
Access Point Information
- Access Points menu provides system info and performance metrics.
- Example: AP with IP address 192.168.200.3 is connected via FastEthernet 0/1 on the switch.
Advanced Settings on WLC
- Basic settings are accessible for quick configurations; advanced settings provide comprehensive control.
- For Cisco 3504 Wireless Controller, click "Advanced" for full feature access.
WLAN Configuration Process
- WLC ports act as trunk ports, allowing traffic from multiple VLANs to APs.
- Each physical port can support numerous APs and WLANs.
Steps to Configure a WLAN
- Create the WLAN and give it an SSID (e.g., Wireless_LAN).
- Apply and enable the WLAN and select the relevant interface.
- Secure the WLAN and verify its operational status.
- Monitor WLAN performance and review wireless client information.
