Name Debbie Travis Date: 03/21/2024 Touchstone Task 3: Planning a Wireless Infrastructure Review the scenario and client expectations about Greenfield Properties. Make sure you also review the additional client expectations related to this Touchstone Preparation. Based on the information provided by the client, answer the following questions in 2-4 sentences each. Be sure to explain your answers in detail. How many devices will connect to this network wirelessly? Determine the current number of wireless devices currently, and then add 50% for future growth. The number of devices is currently 96. With a growth of 50% the number would be 144. With the 96 that would be the maximum number that could be connected to a network if all of the devices are connected and if each had its specific role. What network infrastructure components are needed to support the wireless hosts? (Ref: Wireless Networking Components , Site Survey and Installation Configurations ) The network components that would be needed to support the Wi-Fi network. This infrastructure includes the following: 1) WAPS (wireless access points) would supply the needed coverage for the office. 2) Switches for the network which would be used to connect a wire network to the WAPS and provide the necessary power when using a PoE (Power over Ethernet) system. 3) To handle the internal network to the internet you would need a router. This is for managing the traffic also. 4) An optional device that is used for configuration is a Wireless LAN. This is used for larger areas that need to access the network. On the diagram of the office layout (below), place a circle where you would place each WAP. The distance between WAPs should be from 30 to 70 feet. The office is 200’ wide by 300’ long. (Here is one circle placed on the diagram, as an example.) Use as many as needed to ensure good Wi-Fi coverage everywhere in the building. Overlap the circles slightly to minimize the uncovered spots. Note: This diagram is just a rough draft to help determine how many WAPs you need; when it comes time to deploy the WAPs, you
would use a site survey application to fine-tune WAP placement and channel capacity. Color and label the circle to indicate what channel they should be set to. For example, you might color all the APs that should be set to channel 11 green, and type an 11 in the center of each one. (Ref: Site Survey and Installation Configurations) Will you assign the same SSID to each WAP? Why or why not? (Ref: Site Survey and Installation Configurations )
