Wireless Activity L1

The document provides instructions for building a small wireless local area network (WLAN) using Cisco Packet Tracer software. It includes 3 parts: 1) configuring a wireless router, 2) configuring a wireless client, and 3) creating a small wireless network in practice. Key steps include configuring the wireless router with WPA2 security and a hidden SSID, manually configuring a wireless client PC to connect to the router, and verifying the wireless connectivity and IP addressing. The practical activity guides the user to physically connect an access point, configure its wireless settings like SSID and password, and check the wireless signal strength.

PC2 192.168.1.21 255.255.255.0

WRS2 192.168.1.15 255.255.255.0

Objectives:
▪ Configure a Wireless Router
▪ Configure a Wireless Client
▪ Verify network connectivity.

Background / Scenario:
▪ In this activity, you will configure a Linksys wireless router, allowing for remote access from
PCs as well as wireless connectivity with WPA2 security. You will manually configure PC
wireless connectivity by entering the Linksys router SSID and password.
Required Resources:
▪ 1 (one) switch 2960
▪ 3 (three) desktop computers
▪ Linksys wireless router

Part 1: Configure a Wireless Router

Step 1: Connect the Internet interface of WRS2 to S1.

• Connect the WRS2 Internet interface to the S1 F0/7 interface.

Step 2: Configure the Internet connection type.

a. Click WRS2 > GUI tab.


b. Set the Internet Connection type to Static IP.
c. Configure the IP addressing according to the Addressing Table. Set the default gateway to
192.168.1.15

Step 3: Configure the network setup.

a. Scroll down to Network Setup. For the Router IP option, set the IP address to 192.168.0.1 and the
subnet mask to 255.255.255.0.
b. Enable the DHCP server.
c. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click Save Settings.

Step 4: Configure wireless access and security.

a. At the top of the window, click Wireless. Set the Network Mode to Wireless-N Only and change the
SSID to WRS_LAN.
b. Disable SSID Broadcast and click Save Settings.
c. Click the Wireless Security option.
d. Change the Security Mode from Disabled to WPA2 Personal.
e. Configure cisco123 as the passphrase.
f. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click Save Settings.
Part 2: Configure a Wireless Client

Step 1: Configure PC3 for wireless connectivity.

Because SSID broadcast is disabled, you must manually configure PC3 with the correct SSID and passphrase
to establish a connection with the router.

a. Add wireless card to pc


b. Click PC3 > Desktop > PC Wireless.
c. Click the Profiles tab.
d. Click New.
e. Name the new profile Wireless Access.
f. On the next screen, click Advanced Setup. Then manually enter the SSID of WRS_LAN on Wireless
Network Name. Click Next.
g. Choose Obtain network settings automatically (DHCP) as the network settings, and then click Next.
h. On Wireless Security, choose WPA2-Personal as the method of encryption and click Next.
i. Enter the passphrase cisco123 and click Next.
j. Click Save and then click Connect to Network.

Step 2: Verify PC3 wireless connectivity and IP addressing configuration.

The Signal Strength and Link Quality indicators should show that you have a strong signal. Click More
Information to see details of the connection including IP addressing information. Close the PC Wireless
configuration window.

• Write the details shown in More information:
