6.2  Build the Network Topology
Build the network topology as the following figure shows.
EAP
Switch
Router (DHCP Server)
LAN: 192.168.88.1
Internet
•  The router is the gateway of the network and acts as a DHCP server to assign dynamic 
IP addresses to the management host, EAP and clients. The LAN IP of the router is 
192.168.88.1/24.
•  Connect the switch to the LAN port of the router.
•  Connect the management host and the EAP to the switch. The IP address mode of 
the management host and EAP is dynamic, which means that they will get dynamic IP 
addresses from the router.
Tips:
If the router has more than one LAN port, we can also respectively connect the management host 
and the EAP to the LAN ports of the router.
