Objective

Use Packet Tracer to complete the following skills

·         Add and configure devices to the network

·         Setup a wireless access point.

·         Configure the two computers and printer to use wireless connections.

Scenario

This topology represents the simplest network, ideal for studying device configuration and wireless connectivity.

Required Files

To complete this lab, you will need the following Packet Tracer Activity (.pka) files.

·         CCNA1_Lab5.1.8_Wireless.pka

Plan:

Familiarize yourself with PT 4.0 help menu, in case you have questions.

Act 1: Adding and configuring network devices

·         Open the “CCNA1_Lab5.1.8_Wireless.pka” file and follow the Instructions, which are repeated here:

Step 1

Add a server, a printer, a wireless access point, and two generic PCs.

Step 2

Remove the Ethernet modules and add wireless modules for the 2 PCs and the printer.  Make sure to power off the devices before removing the modules and power on the devices once the wireless modules have been added. 

Power off PC0, remove the existing Ethernet interface first (it is at the bottom of the physical diagram) by dragging it up and to the left to the list of interfaces. You then can drag the wireless interface into its place.  The wireless interface is PT-HOST-NW-1W, power on PC0.  Repeat these steps for PC1 and Printer0.

Step 3

Connect the server to the wireless access point using a cross-over cable.

Step 4

Change the name of PC0 to Workstation, PC1 to Laptop, Server0 to Server, and Printer 0 to Printer.

Use the Config tab to change the names of the devices.

Step 5

Configure the devices with the following addresses:

Workstation – IP Address 192.168.1.1/24

Laptop – IP Address 192.168.1.2/24

Server – IP Address 192.168.1.3/24

Printer – IP Address 192.168.1.4/24

Step 6

Verify connectivity.  From Workstation use the PING command to test connectivity to Lapton.
