Re: Networking Question - VLAN's on SBS 2003 Premium SP1

Finally was able to get some network downtime to make the change in routers
to try this out. I was unsuccessful. I am trying to use a D-Link DI-524
wireless router, but - once connected to the SBS box and I've run CEICW, the
WAN NIC goes through a 5-second cycle over and over - 2 seconds on/connected
follwed by 3 seconds off/disconnected.
I ran the ISA and SBS BPA's and didn't see anything. System logs jusdt show
the NIC entering and exiting the connection state. I'm at a loss. Maybe
it's that I have DHCP turned on for the wireless AP's, and it's competing
with the SBS DHCP service?

I put the old router back in service so I could work on this some more.

Any idceas out there?
Mike

Good point, thanks. I can use a cross-over cable from the wireless router
to the wired router to "share" the internet connection and keep things
separate.

Hello Mike,

Thank you for posting here.

According to your description, I understand that you want to setup
wireless
network in your SBS LAN. If I have misunderstood the problem, please
don't
hesitate to let me know.

First, this is a consulting question, but not a technical issue, which
we
focus on in this newsgroup. Therefore, we can give you some general
information.

To deploy the wireless in SBS network, please refer to the following
page:

Configure Wireless Networking on Windows Small Business Server 2003

http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsServerSolutions/SBS/en/library/6202a4df
-3daf-4fa5-9f4d-a409dfddfc171033.mspx?mfr=true

Based on my knowledge, I think you do not need the 3 VLANs in your SBS
LAN.
The VLANs make the network complex, and we are not ensure the DHCP will
work fine among the VLANs.

I suggest you do not set VLAN in your switch, and connect the wireless
APs
to the switch directly for the internal wireless client, all the
wireless
or cable clients are in one internal LAN. This will make the ISA server
2004 configuration easier. We do not need to customize any rules, only
need
to use the default SBS rules, which created by CEICW.

For the wireless guest users, we can make them to connect to your
wireless
router. Then, the guest will unable to access any resource on your SBS
LAN,
and could only access Internet thru the router. Please enable DHCP on
the
router for the wireless guest users.

The network likes following:

{Internet}=={wireless router}~~{ wireless guest users}
||
={SBS}=={switch}=={cable clients}
||
={wireless
APs}~~{internal wireless clients}

I hope these steps will give you some help.

Thanks and have a nice day!

Best regards,

Terence Liu (MSFT)

I've got an idea to (finally) extend out LAN so that the staff can get
in
wirelessly and guests can only get to the internet.

I've read and re-read Owen Williams doc, the MS doc and the MS Press
book,
"Deploying Secure 802.11 Wireless Networks with Microsoft Windows". I'll
be
using all 3 to architect this.

But, to begin with, I want to setup and test a very basic system. And
I'd
like some feedback on whether I'm correct in my thought process, or that
I've strayed and should consider another idea.

Here's what I've got: 2-NIC box with ISA-2004 SP3, one of which (the
internal) is VLAN-capable; a L2/L3 managed switch, a wireless router,
and
10
wireless AP's.

Here's what I intend to do for the initial test:
(1) setup 3 VLAN's on the switch - one for admin purposes (VLAN1), one
for
wireless staff use (VLAN2), and one for wireless guest use (VLAN3).
(2) configure the VLAN-capable NIC for VLAN 2 and VLAN3 (I'll see them
show
up as virtual NIC's in Network Connections once I press OK.
(3) create network sets in ISA 2004 for the IP ranges I'll use for VLAN2
and
VLAN3.
(4) add VLAN2 set to the Firewall Rules the rest of the wired domain
uses
(5) add VLAN3 to Internet Access rule in Firewall Rules
(6) create scopes in DHCP for each IP range I'll use for VLAN2 and VLAN3
(7) stop and start Firewall Service
(8) re-run CEICW
(9) set 2 AP's up, one for each VLAN, to test with - using WPA2 security
(for now)

Testing:
(1) ensure full access from within the wired LAN (to test that it is
unaffected)
(2) connect a WinXP Pro SP2 laptop to a VLAN2 AP (wirelessly) and see if
I
get an IP, that I have access to the domain and all shares I normally
am,
and have internet access
(3) connect a WinXP Pro SP2 laptop to a VLAN3 AP (wirelessly) and see if
I
get an IP, and that ALL I get is access to the internet.

Will this accomplish my goal to see if the very basics work? And if
not,
what should I change?
