LAB 12 2 Building a WLAN in Packet Tracer - CSchulz0618/Network-Fundamentals GitHub Wiki

Lab 12 1 In this lab we using a raspberry pi to scan networks in proximity.

How do you connect to a Raspberry using your workstation?

  • Unplug HDMI and mouse + keyboard and plug them into raspberry pi and plug pi into computer with micro-usb

What command do you use to view nearby wireless networks and the channels they operate on? (Need to be connected to a network for it to work)

  • sudo iwlist wlan0 scanning |more

Lab 12 2 In this lab, we built a wireless network and connected it using a wireless router and a normal router to a webserver.

Part 1: Configure a Wireless Router

Step 1: Configure the Internet connection type on the WR.

  • Click WR > GUI tab.

  • Set the Internet Connection type to Static IP.

  • Configure the Internet IP address according to the Addressing Table.

Step 2: Configure the network setup.

  • Scroll down to Network Setup. For the Router IP option, set the IP address to the Wireless

Router’s LAN address and the subnet mask

  • Enable the DHCP server.

Scroll to the bottom of the page and click Save Settings.

Step 3: Configure wireless access and security.

  • At the top of the window, click Wireless. Set the Network Mode to Wireless-N Only and change the SSID to whatever you want to call your network.

  • Disable SSID Broadcast and click Save Settings.

  • Click the Wireless Security option.

  • Change the Security Mode from Disabled to WPA2 Personal.

  • Configure a passphrase.

  • Scroll to the bottom of the page and click Save Settings.

Part 2: Configure a Wireless ClientStep 1: Configure Laptop1 for wireless connectivity.

Because SSID broadcast is disabled, you must manually configure Laptop1 with the correct SSID and passphrase to establish a connection with the router.

  • Click Laptop1 > Desktop > PC Wireless.

  • Click the Profiles tab.

  • Click New.

  • Name the new profile Wireless Access.

  • On the next screen, click Advanced Setup. Leave on Infrastructure Mode

  • Then manually enter the SSID of your network on Wireless Network Name.

  • Click Next.

  • Choose Obtain network settings automatically (DHCP) as the network settings, and then click Next.

  • On Wireless Security, choose WPA2-Personal as the method of encryption and click Next.

  • Enter the passphrase and click Next.

  • Click Save and then click Connect to Network.

Step 2: Verify Laptop1 wireless connectivity and IP addressing configuration.

  • The Signal Strength and Link Quality indicators should show that you have a strong signal.
