Objectives
Configure WEP for Healthcare at Home
Configure WPA2 PSK for Gotham Healthcare Branch
Configure WPA2 RADIUS for Metropolis Bank HQ
Background / Scenario
In this activity, you will configure Wi-Fi networks for all three geographic sites. This activity will utilize WEP, WPA2 PSK, and WPA2 RADIUS to demonstrate the varying configuration of Wi-Fi networks and their security considerations. Healthcare at Home will be setup using WEP. Gotham Healthcare Branch will be configured with WPA2 PSK and Metropolis Bank HQ will be using WPA2 Radius. The IP addressing, network configuration, and service configurations are already complete. You will use the wireless routers and client devices in the differing geographic regions to setup multiple secure wireless networks.
Screenshots (Output)
For screenshots (snips) make sure to include enough to determine proper source and/or target devices. This could be via including the name of the PC/Device, the hostname of the networking device (Router or switch) or ipconfig output

Part 1:
Configure WEP for Healthcare at Home
Step 1:
Setup the Wireless SSID.
a.
Click the Healthcare at Home site and click PC0
.
b.
Select Desktop tab. Click Command Prompt. At the prompt, enter ipconfig.
Note: If the gateway = 0.0.0.0 give the simulator 30 second and enter the command a second time.
c.
Navigate to the Web Browser and enter the IP address for the default gateway. Enter admin
as the username and password when prompted. Click OK.

e.
Change the SSID from DefaultWIFI
to Home
.
f.

Step 2:
Setup Wireless Security.
a.
Within the Wireless Router, click Wireless > Wireless Security.
b.
Click the drop-down menu and set the Security Mode to WEP.
c.
Keep the encryption option set to 40/64-bits and enter the key 0123456789
as Key 1.
d.
Click Save Settings.
Screenshot (below): Saved Settings (Wireless > Wireless Security Tab) Note: show pertinent rows settings (not the “Save button”)
e.
WEP and the key 0123456789 are not secure. Why is WEP not recommended for use in securing wireless networks? (2-3 sentences minimally)
WEP is not a good way to protect WiFi networks because it doesn't have key
management and uses weak encryption keys. This leaves it open to a number of security holes that make it easy for attackers to get into. Also, GTC - CPT Dept

technological progress has made WEP useless, and safer options like WPA2
and WPA3 are now easily accessible.
