configuring a secure wireless network 1

Your office has implemented a WLAN and needs you to configure the WLAN environment with three Cisco Merakiâ„¢ MR62 wireless access points (WAPs) in order to access the Internet and intercommunicate. Security is not overly important at this time.

WAP Placement:

The Visio® diagram provided, “Office Wireless Network,” shows the placement of each WAP within the building.

Firewall:

The firewall is located in the Data Center.

IP Information:

The organization has an external IP address of 23.4.178.126 and uses private IPv4 space on the 10 network. The IP space for internal routers and access points is 10.0.1.x with all IPs available above 10.0.1.10.

Before working on this assignment, research the wireless access pointon the Cisco Merakiâ„¢ documentation site.

Using the information from the Cisco Merakiâ„¢ site, document the configuration value to implement each device in the “WLAN Configuration Design Template” to allow all networked computers to communicate with each other and the Internet.

Complete the 1-page “WLAN Configuration Design Template” spreadsheet.

Create 1- to 2-page diagram depicting the process you took to identify the appropriate configuration settings for each device. Your audience is your director, so be clear and explain the vulnerabilities that exist in the implemented environment.
