A step-by-step guide to configure new devices and the network for guest access. Screenshots are included for each step for better understanding. The document covers adding free guest wireless internet, installing cameras, reconfiguring the current network to support new hardware, and segmenting the network to control visitor access to the main network. The document also includes ping results and network topology. useful for students studying computer networks and network security.

This brief will explain the steps that were taken to configure new devices and the network. Screenshots are included for each step for better understanding. Completed the following: P a g e 1 | 31
Add free guest wireless internet for the customers Install cameras that monitor the front desk and the waiting area. Reconfigure the current network to support the new hardware. The needed hardware is already in the office, so the
command was entered (see Figure 1) to add and name the new VLAN for the wireless router’s “Guest” network. The command was run again to add and name the new VLAN for the camera’s video network (see
Figure 2). Figure 3 is the VLAN table showing both VLAN 70 and 80 have been added and the existing VLAN 50 and 150 are still configured. Next the wireless router was physically connected to the P a g e 5 | 31
Verified that the IP configuration was set to DHCP on the internet option under the config tab of the router (see Figure 6). Configuration was continued in the wireless section under the config tab. The SSID was
DHCP, the router IP address was 192.168.70.10, the start IP address set to 192.168.70.101 and the maximum number of users to 70 (see Figure 8). The client lease time is set at the default 1 day. This will be
fine since the clients won’t use it for more than 4 hours. Next the wireless devices (smartphone and tablet) needed to be configured. In the Wireless0 section under the config tab of the smart phone, the SSID was changed P a g e 11 | 31
same steps were followed for the tablet and it was assigned an IP address of 192.168.70.103 (see Figure 10). To configure the 2 cameras, they were physically connected to the switch with copper straight- P a g e 13 | 31
through cables. The Lobby camera is using FastEthernet0/10 and the Door camera is using FastEthernet0/11. The other ends of the cables are plugged into the only Ethernet port on the
192.168.80.101 and Door – 192.168.80.102) and a static gateway (192.168.80.10). Figure 12 is the VLAN table showing all the correct ports are assigned the correct VLAN and that they are active.
This network is segmented. This was done to control visitor access to the main network. It minimizes traffic and improves security. The segregation was done by segmenting the switch into P a g e 17 | 31
devices inside of their virtual network. When configuring the wireless router, scalability was considered. It was essential that the IP configuration was going to be able to support all the P a g e 19 | 31
devices that might use the network at the same time. Also, the client lease time was set at one day and probably only needed to be 4 hours long. Both things can be increased in the future very easily if need be.
