Setting up a local wired server8/9/2023 It is made using Cisco Packet Tracer software. The image below shows a typical network that can be created just by using Layer 2 devices (no routers). Setting up a wireless network provides a lot. Instead of using wires and cables to connect every computer or device in the network, installing WAPs is a more convenient, more secure, and cost-efficient alternative. It shows you IP address and the sub-net mask, which can be used to find the range. A Wireless Access Point (WAP) is a networking device that allows wireless-capable devices to connect to a wired network. You can find the IP addresses, that belongs to your sub-net by using ipconfig or ifconfig (for Windows or Linux respectively). If the person is living very far away and don't know exactly how you can each the person, then you will be taking help of some company that provides courier service (like FedEx). If the person lives in the same building (or even the same city), then you can directly deliver the package to that person. Suppose you want to send a package (like a greeting card, a gift, or something else) to someone. If the packet belongs to the same sub-network you are in, then routers won't be required to deliver the packet. The network you will create will only be able to communicate with the nodes that are inter-connected with each other via the Layer-2 Switch.ĭefault gateway is used whenever a packet is not destined for the current sub-net you are in (which means the destination IP of the packet exists on a different sub-network). Routers are used to filter and forward packets from one network to another network. Yes, surely you can create a network without using routers. Is this possible? Will the server actually talk to the AP in this manner?ĭo I HAVE TO have a router just to make this work? *I also don't need this network to connect to the web - it's a closed network designed to accomplish a single specific task. The AP would enable the hotspot network, thereby handing out DHCP to Wi-Fi clients, and passing all service directly to the 'gateway' (the server), and the server would in turn pass all service directly to the AP. Set AP "hotspot" to serve out DHCP for WIFI clients, effectively sending that traffic to its gateway (10.0.1.254). It does have a 'hotspot' mode, which (when activated) hands out DHCP over Wi-Fi, and routes them to the gateway port (essentially a walled-off guest Wi-Fi network running on the same AP, not allowing access to the LAN). The AP which I've got is a biz-grade AP, much more robust, but it is without a built-in router (so no standard DHCP server builtin). I'm doing a quite simple network setup (hopefully): a file server and a Wi-Fi/AP.
