Abstract
This configuration guide will go over how to set up the Cisco Wireless-G Business Ethernet

Bridges. This guide will show you how to set up the device in its physical location. It will also

show you how to set up the online configuration settings. The setting changes this guide will go

through ranges between wireless, network, security, system management, SNMP and remote

management settings along with LAN configuration.

We will start with the physical setup of the device. Once it is successfully placed and

powered, we will all the online configuration settings. This guide will ensure you can properly

place and setup your Cisco device at any business. To start, make sure you not only have a

device, but also access to an ethernet cable, PC and outlet.

Physical Installation
Start by connecting the end of an ethernet network cable to the LAN port on a PC, then

connect the opposite end to any of the numbered ethernet ports on the bridge. Connect the power

adapter to the power port and then plug the opposite end into an outlet. At this point, the power

LED on the front should light up green once it is set up properly. From here, you

Will use the PC to type the default IP address into the address bar where you can login with

the default username and password so you can start with configuration of the device.

LAN Configuration
You’ll be starting by change settings within LAN. All these configurations will be

within the LAN (Local Network) tab which is within the Networking tab. You can also always

go to the Status tab and look at the dashboard or system summary to find these configurations.

Pressing the edit button will lead you to the required page to make the changes you need.

Once you enter the setup page, you will start by going to the status tab which will automatically

open its dashboard tab. Press edit next to the host name and you will be brought to the IPv4

LAN page under networking. From here, you can will change the host name to LAN0, change

the IP address to 172.16.137.1 and make sure the lease time is 24 and the DHCP is enabled. You

will also be changing the primary and secondary DNS here to 202.201.37.16 and 202.201.37.225

respectively. From here, go down to the VLAN membership where you will change the VLAN

ID to 44, then go back up to the system summary in the Status tab where you can edit the

Gateway address. After this, you can

return to the LAN tab where

you will open the static DHCPs.

Here you will need to add five sets of IP/Mac addresses. The list is as follows:

DC01=172.16.15.201, MAC D0-17-C2-89-A3-67

Syslog= 172.16.15.202, MAC D0-21-C2-89-A3-69
DB01=172.16.15.203, MAC D0-17-D2-89-A3-44
EXCH01=172.16.15.204, MAC F0-17-C2-89-C3-56
RADIUS=172.16.15.205, MAC D0-37-D2-79-D3-55

Wireless
Unlike with the previous configurations being in mostly one area, these following ones

aren’t all within the wireless tab. Besides the SSID and RADIUS, you’ll mostly be checking

settings that may already be set the way they need to be, so no worries if this seems too easy.

Starting in the wireless tab, go to basic settings and scroll down to the wireless basic

setting table where you can change the name of the SSID to PROWIFI. After this, go down to

administration, then management interface and go into web access to check the box next to

remote management in order to enable it. Then back in the wireless tab, go to wireless security

where you can select which security mode to enable and put WPA2_Enterprise. You can then go

to the encryption tab to ensure the algorithm is set to TKIP+AES. After this, you’ll leave the

wireless tab again to the Security tab where you’ll enter a couple radius server. Two servers with

the IPs 172.16.15.138 and 172.16.15.156 while sharing the port of 1812. 3G will be left at

defaults.

Networking

While this phase won’t be in two separate areas that aren’t networking, this part

will be a quick and simple check up. All you need to do is check for the DMZ Host tab at

the bottom of the Firewall section and make sure it is disabled. Check that UPnP is also

disabled within the discovery settings in the Administration section.

System Management

Starting in Administration, go to password rules, enable password complexity and

change the length to 12. Then go down to user accounts where you’ll start by enabling

password aging and setting the timer to 90. Scroll down and create a new account named

Xadministrator and set a password for it. Make sure to delete any other accounts in the

process. Now go to Time Settings and type in time.nist.gov and time-a.nist.gov.

Now go down to Network Management and make sure SNMP is enabled. If it is,

scroll down and enable SNMPv3 for the account. Now go down to SNMP System

information. Here, you’ll add yourself as the contact, set the location as Office 1 and the

system name as COWAP01.

The final step in this process is to go back Web access under management

interface. Here, you’ll activate both HTTPS and Remote Management, the latter having

been done earlier. Just make sure the port number is 443 and you are done configuring

the Cisco Wireless-G Business Ethernet Bridge.
