Re: setup an isolated wireless network

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

It is an old Cisco catalyst 3500 series switch that I don't think has VLan
capable. Besides, that switch is still connected to another switch, with no
direct connection to outside router.

hi,
on the lan port of AP put an static IP, on the switch where do you connect
the AP create a VLAN with AP and the router(wich connect to the
internet) -
by that you create a logical separate network from your lan with only AP
and
router, so the users who connect to AP will "see" only the AP and the
router
no matter what.

Any way the router will be on 2 VLAN's -the default one where is your LAN
and that where AP reside. Is like you have 2 nic's on the router one
connected to the LAN and the other connected to the AP with no routing one
to
other.

hi,
if the switch permit, you can create a diferent vlan on the out-port
of AP
and the router.That will isolate the internal network and all access
from
AP
will transit the router and there with adecvate routing table they
will
not
have access to your internal LAN.

Hi,

I have a class B network, which has 1 firewall to access internet.

I want to setup a wireless network which will be used by anyone to
access
internet, but here is my problem.
I have no choice to plug wireless router to my network, (can't plug
it
in
to switch outside firewall due to location) to allow it to access
internet.
- I don't want wireless users who will be accessing this router, to
see
or
access my class B network to obtain IP address, or see any resources
on
my
network

I will configure wireless router to access my LAN (give router
static
IP,
and define default gateway to access internet)
Define class C subnet for wireless users and have them obtain
different
IP
address range.
Then put the wireless router into confined area.

How secure would this setup be, against viruses, warm and or
hackers.
(Anyone's laptop who may be infected by worm or pest, i don't want
them
have
any impact on my LAN)

Thanks
MC
