Wireless technologies LAN Switching and Wireless– Chapter 7 and Fundamentals of Wireless LANs course basics
Objectives • Describe the components and operations of basic wireless LAN topologies. • Describe the components and operations of basic wireless LAN security. • Configure and verify basic wireless LAN access. • Configure and troubleshoot wireless client access.
What is Wireless LAN? • Wireless LAN (WLAN) - provides all the features and benefits of traditional LAN technologies such as Ethernet and Token Ring, but without the limitations of wires or cables.
Other Wireless Technologies • Cellular • Bluetooth or PAN (Personal Area Network) • 3G (3rd Generation) • UWB (Ultra Wide Band) • FSO (Free Space Optics) • Radio waves off meteor trails!

Explain the Components and Operations of Basic Wireless LAN Topologies • Basic Service Set (BSS) / Infrastructure • Extended Service Set (ESS) • Independent Basic Service Set (IBSS) / Ad-hoc
ESS roaming feature • Describe how to plan a wireless LAN • A WLAN designer must determinewhether clients will require seamlessroaming from access point to access point. • Not yet standardized by IEEE 802.11IAPP (Inter-Access Point Protocol)
Explain the Components and Operations of Basic Wireless LAN Security • Describe the threats to wireless LAN security
Explain the Components and Operations of Basic Wireless LAN Security • Describe the wireless protocols. The description will include a description of 802.1x, a comparison of WPA and WPA2 as well as comparison of TKIP and AES
Explain the Components and Operations of Basic Wireless LAN Security • Describe how to secure a wireless LAN from the key security threats
Configure and Verify Basic Wireless LAN Access • Configure a wireless access point
Configure and Verify Basic Wireless LAN Access • Configure a wireless NIC
Configure and Troubleshoot Wireless Client Access • Describe how to solve access point firmware issues
Configure and Troubleshoot Wireless Client Access • Describe how to solve authentication problems associated with wireless LANs
Summary • Wireless LANs use standards such as • IEEE 802.11a • IEEE 802.11b • IEEE 802.11g • IEEE 802.11n • Basic Service set • Mobile clients use a single access point for connectivity • Extended service set • Multiple access point that share an SSID
Summary • WLAN security practices/methods include • MAC address filtering • SSID making • Implementing WPA2 • Configuration of wireless NIC and access point • Configure both of them the same way • SSID • Ensure that the latest firmware is installed • Troubleshooting WLANs include doing the following: • Check channel setting • Check for interference
