12.15 Configuring the Clients
Clarissa has now finished configuring the switch. Next she configures the wired clients.
Going to each device, she gives it the IP address and other networking information that it will need to
communicate with the switch:
Then she does the same thing with the wireless clients:
The remaining tasks are to test the network and to put the Access Ports in their permanent locations.
12.15.1 Testing Connections
Clarissa powers up several sample devices and tests them, to be sure that they work as configured. She tests
whether the devices can connect to the wireless switch and whether they can connect to devices on other
subnets.
After she is confident that everything is working, she moves the Access Ports to their permanent locations.
She connects the WS2000 to the DSL modem. Finally, she tests the connection from each subnet to the
WAN.
The store network is now complete.
