Retail Use Cases

Clarisa leaves the rest of the System Configuration screens for now, moves to the left menu,
and clicks the “+” to the left of Network Configuration so that she can begin to define the
subnets.

Configuring the Subnets

The IP Address Plan

Now Clarisa needs to name and define the subnets. The subnet menu items are under the
LAN item in Network Configuration in the WS 2000 left menu. The subnets can be
renamed, assigned an IP address, and have ports associated with them. Before she can do
this, however, Clarisa needs to plan how she is going to assign IP addresses to the subnets
and the devices on them.

Clarisa only has one IP address from corporate for this store. She will use network address
translation (NAT) for all of the devices, making request from those devices look to the
outside world as if they came from the single static IP address that she has. For the devices,
she plans to use IP numbers from the range 192.168.*.*, because IP addresses in that range
are designated for internal use only.

She will assign them as follows:

Subnet

IP Address Range

192.168.0.*** POS

subnet

192.168.1.*** Printer

subnet

192.168.2.*** Cafe

Subnet
