Wireless AP LAN

Firewall Screened Subnet


Correct Answer:
The completed configuration:
1. Wireless AP (LAN side)
(1) LAN IP: 192.168.10.1
(2) Encryption: WPA2 PSK
2. Router (port-forward rule)
(1) Allow TCP Any 3389
This forwards inbound RDP traffic (TCP/3389) from the Internet to the
Windows PC, enabling Remote Desktop access.
3. Firewall (screened subnet side)
(1) LAN IP: 10.100.0.1
4. Device placement
(1) PC: place behind the router (where the port-forward rule
points).
(2) Game console: place on the Wireless AP (so it can use chat and
extra services over WPA2 PSK).
(3) Firewall: place in front of the screened subnet (with its
10.100.0.1 IP facing that subnet).
