Cisco Packet Tracer Wireless Lab (ver 1.

1)
Run Cisco Packet Tracer program on your computer to perform the following items. Download this program from the
Internet or http://cs3.calstatela.edu/~egean/cs4471/software if needed. An introduction to Packet Tracer can be found
at https://www.netacad.com/courses/packet-tracer/introduction-packet-tracer .

1. Configure the network shown below comprising of a WLC-2504 Wireless LAN Controller, 2960 Ethernet switch,
3702i Lightweight Access Point, Server, 1841 Router, and PC computer interconnected by Ethernet cables. A
laptop computer will be used to the network via WiFi. Submit a screenshot of this. (initial screenshot may not
show that laptop is connected to wireless access point).

2. Click on the Wireless LAN Controller icon and go to the Config tab. Click on the Management interface and set
the management IP address to 192.168.1.10, subnet mask to 255.255.255.0, and default gateway to
192.168.1.1. Submit a screenshot of these settings.

3. On computer PC0, configure IP address 192.168.1.100 and subnet mask 255.255.255.0. Submit screenshots of
the following three verifications.
a. Open a command prompt window on PC0 and run command “ipconfig” to verify IP configuration settings.
b. Verify that computer PC0 can ping its own IP address by running command “ping 192.168.1.100”.
c. Also verify that computer PC0 can ping the IP address of the Wireless Lan Controller.

4. On computer PC0, open a web browser and go to URL http://192.168.1.10. Create an admin account with an
appropriate password that you can easily remember (eg. admin or Wlc-2504).

Set up your controller with an appropriate system name along with management IP address 192.168.1.10,
subnet mask 255.255.255.0, default gateway 192.168.1.1, management vlan ID value of 0 (for untagged vlan).
Click Next button.

Create your wireless network by setting network name to Employee, security to WPA2 Personal, passphrase to
Employee, vlan Management VLAN. Click Next button. Click Next button.
 Confirm settings and click Apply button. After waiting one minute for the controller to reconfigure itself with
the new settings, log back into the wireless LAN controller via https://192.168.1.10 .

Click on WLANs tab. A new Profile named Employee with an SSID of Employee should have already been created
(if not, do create this new Profile named Employee with an SSID of Employee and click button Apply to save
these settings) Submit a screenshot that contains these settings.

Click on the WLAN ID number of the newly created profile to edit its settings. Click on the Security tab. Within
the Layer2 settings, verify that Layer 2 Security is set to WPA+WPA2 . WPA2 policy should be checkmarked ,
AES encryption should be checkmarked , and PSK authentication should be enabled . If not already
configured, set PSK (Pre-Share Key) to a value that you can easily remember( eg. Employee ). Submit a
screenshot of these settings. Click Apply to save these settings.

5. On Server0, go to Config tab and clock on interface FastEthernet0. Configure static IP address 192.168.1.20 and
subnet mask 255.255.255.0 . Submit a screenshot of these settings for FastEthernet0 interface.

Configure Server0 as a DHCP server by going to Services tab and then click on DHCP. Verfiy that DHCP service
radio button is on for FastEthernet0 interface. Create a DCHP pool to provide up to 100 DHCP addresses starting
from IP address 192.168.1.101 . Click on Save button to save the settings. Submit a screenshot of these settings

6. On the Light Weight Access Point 1, click on its Config tab and click on the GigabitEthernet0 interface. Submit a
screenshot of the GigabitEthernet0 settings, which should show its DHCP configured IP address and subnet mask
(Note: if DHCP address is not within range configured in DCHCP server, try to renew DHCP address on access
point by clicking Static radio button followed by DHCP radio button).

From PC0 web browser, connect to the web interface of the wireless LAN controller and click the menu tab
labelled WIRELESS . Submit a screenshot of this display, which should show the access point (and its IP address)
that has established connectivity to the wireless LAN controller.

7. On Laptop0, go to Physical tab and turn off the power to the laptop. Afterwards replace its fast Ethernet
network module with Linksys WPC300N wifi module. Turn on the power to the laptop. Go to Config tab and
click on interface Wireless0. Configure the Wireless0 interface settings such that SSID is set to Employee ,
Authentication is set to WPA2-PSK , PSK Pass Phrase is set to Employee , Encryption Type is AES, and IP
Configuration is set to DHCP. If the IP address obtained is not within the range configured on the DCHP server,
try renewing the IP address by clicking on the Static and DHCP radio buttons. Submit a screenshot of these
settings.

8. On Laptop0, verify that you can ping IP address of DHCP server. From a command prompt window on Laptop0,
submit screenshots of output of “ipconfig /all” and “ping 192.168.1.20”.

9. (2pts) In Simulation mode, capture and decode a CAPWAP packet while sending ping packets from wireless
Laptop0 to wired desktop computer PC0. Submit a screenshot of a decoded Ethernet frame that also includes
the CAPWAP packet decoded . What UDP port number is used to tunnel CAPWAP packets? What path does the
ping packet take between Laptop0 and PC0 ?
