CYB-210 Project One Computer Network Modification. This brief will explain the steps that were taken to configure new devices and the network. Screenshots

Completed the following: 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 cameras and wireless router were harvested from the equipment closet. To get the network ready for the new hardware, the existing switch was reconfigured first. After selecting the switch and clicking on the CLI, a 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 switch using a copper straight-through cable. It was plugged into FastEthernet0/7 on the router and Ethernet 1 on the wireless router. The FastEthernet0/7 port on the switch was assigned to VLAN 70 . This was done with the CLI on the switch (see Figure 4). Next, the wireless router needed to be configured. On the LAN option under the config tab of the router, the IP address was set to 192.168.70.10 (see Figure 5). 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 labeled “Guest”, Both authentication and encryption type set to disabled (see figure 7). The router configuration was competed under the GUI tab. Verified that the internet connection type was set to 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 to “Guest” to match the network. The DHCP automatically assigned an IP address of 102.168.70.102 (see Figure 9). This is a valid IP since it is above the starting IP address but no more than 70 above it. The 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-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 cameras. Assigning the ports with the CLI on the switch to VLAN 80 was done the same way as when the router’s port was assigned (see Figure 11). Both cameras have been set up with static IP addresses (Lobby – 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. [Show Less]
