A Field Office Example
Configuring the System Settings
Contacting the Wireless Switch
To begin configuration of the switch, Leo sets up a communication link to the switch. Leo
starts with a direct network link between his laptop and the switch, plugging the cable into
one of the local, non-WAN, ports. The switch defaults to having all the LAN ports on the
first subnet and that subnet having an IP address of 192.168.0.1. So, as far as this
connection is concerned, the switch comes up with an initial IP address of 192.168.0.1. He
sets his laptop to have an IP address of 192.168.0.2 and a netmask of 255.255.255.0. He
also sets the gateway IP address to be 192.168.0.1, the WS 2000’s IP address.
