A Field Office Example

Confirm Firewall Configuration

After setting the NAT ranges, Leo selects Firewall under WAN in the left menu. The WS
2000 displays a series of Firewall Filters, all of which are currently enabled.

Leo examines the list and sees no reason to turn off any of the filters. He clicks the Apply
button.

The next step is to determine which Access Ports each WLAN will use.

Adopting Access Ports

Now that the LAN and WAN interfaces are configured, Leo needs to specify which Access
Ports will go with which wireless LANs (WLANs). To do this, Leo needs the MAC address
for each Access Port. He removes them from their packaging and finds that they have
consecutive MAC addresses: 00:A0:00:00:00:01 through 00:A0:00:00:00:04. He decides
that he will install them as follows:

MAC Address

He marks each Access Port with its intended location and WLAN, so he will not get
confused later.

Leo selects the Wireless item in the left menu. He sees that all three wireless LANs are
enabled, though they do not have the names that Leo wants to use.
