Configuring the Clients
Clarisa 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:
Client
IP Address
Subnet Mask
Gateway
WS 2000
Port
Wired POS
terminal #1
192.168.0.4 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.1

Wired POS
terminal #2
192.168.0.5 255.255.255.0 192.168.0.1

The remaining tasks are to test the network and to put the Access Ports in their permanent
locations.
Testing Connections
Clarisa 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 WS 2000 to the DSL modem. Finally, she tests the
connection from each subnet to the WAN.
The store network is now complete!
