ITN 7.

02 – Case Study - Part 2 (Modules 4 – 7)

Your supervisor has asked you to prepare a second part for the network simulation and presentation you have been
working on. You will continuing with building the network you created for Part 1. You will add on to this file for Part 2.
Open the Packet Tracer file ITN – Part 2. Be sure to do a Save As to rename the new file. The presentation will be used
to demonstrate to the potential customer how your company would design and implement the proposed network. You
have been asked to design this project in several segments that can ultimately be assembled into the full network
topology.

Part 2 (Modules 4 – 7)
Step 1 – Adding wireless components to the NET 1 wiring closet
 Use the Physical mode to add components the NET 1 closet.
 Add a WRT300N wireless router on the table.
 Add an additional table in the closet.
 Add a PC with a copper FastEthernet network interface card to the new table.
 Access the Config tab on the PC and change the display name to Wireless ADMIN PC.
 Connect the Wireless ADMIN PC FastEthernet0 to the Ethernet 1 port on the wireless router.

Step 2 – Adding wireless devices to Room 101

 Exit the NET 1 wiring closet.
 Add a laptop with a WPC300N wireless module to Room 101 (scroll to the right to see). You will have to power
down the laptop and drag the current network interface card – copper FastEthernet interface – to the list on the
left. Then locate the WMP300N interface and drag it to the laptop to install.
 Power the laptop back on.
 Access the Config tab on the PC and change the display name to WLaptop1.
 Add a PC to Room 101.
 Repeat this process to install a wireless NIC in the PC in Room 101.
 Access the Config tab on the PC and change the display name to WPC1.
 Verify that the laptop and PC are acquiring an IP address from the wireless router via DHCP. (192.168.0.X)
NOTE: Sometimes the laptop and the PC will not connect to the wireless router. They are not seeing the
broadcast SSID from the wireless router. If this happens, save the file and close Packet Tracer. Then reopen the
file and it should connect to the wireless router.
 Verify connectivity from wireless laptop to wireless PC.

Step 3 – Configuring the wireless router

 Return to the NET 1 wiring closet.
 Statically assign the Wireless ADMIN PC attached to the wireless router the IP address 192.168.0.2
255.255.255.0.
 Open the web browser on the PC and enter the IP address 192.168.0.1 in the URL space to connect to the
wireless router management interface.
 The default user name and password are both set as admin.
 Login to the wireless router.
 In the Internet Setup, change the Internet Connection type to Static IP.
 Configure the Internet IP Address using the 5th available IP address in the 11.0.0.0/24 range and configure the
appropriate default gateway.
 In the Network Setup – Basic Setup, change the Start IP Address to 192.168.0.15 and change the maximum
number of user to 100. Be sure to scroll to the bottom and click Save Settings.
 Verify the settings are successful.
 Click on the Wireless tab and then click on the Wireless Security tab.
  Select the Security Mode to WPA2 Personal and set the Passphrase as gu3st101. Be sure to scroll to the bottom
and click Save Settings.
 Click on the Administration tab.

 In the Management settings, under Remote Access, click on Enabled.

 Be sure to scroll to the bottom and click Save Settings.

Step 4 – Configuring and testing wireless clients

 Go to Room 101 on the laptop and PC, toggle from DHCP to Static IP and back to DHCP. If the security is set up
correctly on the wireless router, the laptop and the PC will no longer have a valid IP address in the 192.168.0.X
range.
 Access the PC Wireless client configuration . Note that the adapter is currently inactive.
 Click on the Connect tab and wait until the Default wireless network appears, then click Connect.
 Enter the pre-shared key gu3st101 and click Connect.
 Note the adapter should now be active.
 Close the wireless client window and go check the IP address of the laptop. It should be in the 192.168.0.X
range. If not, toggle to Static and back to DHCP. If it is still not correct you will need to troubleshoot.
 Repeat the wireless client configuration for the wireless PC.
 Verify the wireless PC has an IP address in the 192.168.0.X range.
 Verify connectivity from laptop to wireless PC.

Step 5 – Documentation
 Create a table to record the device name, IP address, and MAC address of the PCs:
o Section 1 wired PCs
o Section 2 wireless PCs
 Add to the documentation you previously created of the physical network. Remember you will be adding to this
document throughout the case study, so consider how you want it to be laid out as the potential customer will
likely want to review the document. Be sure to include:
o Type of network equipment installed.
o Vendor, model, mode number, system serial number, IOS software version, software image name, type
and number of ports.
o Types of end devices installed.
o Identify the type of ports and their port number that are used to connect the network devices to the
end devices.
 Document the configuration (text copy).
 Document IP address range of the wireless network, addresses assigned to wireless devices.
 Document all passwords and the pre-shared key for the wireless network.

Step 6 – Additional information for presentation

 Create a diagram of the current physical topology.
 Create a table of IEEE wireless standards, identify which standard is being used in this network, and be prepared
to discuss the other IEEE wireless standards.
 Explain the function of the Data Link Layer and the sub-layers.
 Explain how the wireless router uses CSMA/CA when communicating.
 Describe what Data Link Layer protocols are being used in this network.

Step 7 – Presentation
 Present your completed project in a presentation format to your workgroup.
