40<p>Each group has a kit that includes an 8 port switch (Netgear GS108Tv2) and a dual-band WiFi access point (Netgear n600). You'll need to connect the access point and the MacMini with the 8 port switch to allow your students to access the virtual teaching environment and the Internet.</p>
41<p>The switch and access point are pre-configured for this workshop to save classroom time. All the switch ports are equivalent, so it's not important which ports on the switch you connect the devices to.</p>
42<p>Connect the access point and the MacMini to the switch. When you connect the MacMini to the switch, you'll use the built-in ethernet port (eth0). When you connect the access point, you'll use one of the four black ethernet ports. Don't use the yellow ethernet port on the access point.</p>
43<p>Power on the switch and access point. When the power light on the access point turns green it's ready. This takes a couple minutes; some patience is required.</p>
44<p>You may now connect to you classroom LAN with your laptop.</p>
45<h2 id="connect-your-laptop"><a href="#connect-your-laptop"><span class="header-section-number">1.2</span> Connect your laptop</a></h2>
46<p>Each group has an access point with SSIDs of the form KITx-2.4 and KITx-5 (e.g. for group one, <strong>KIT1-2.4</strong> and <strong>KIT1-5</strong>). Connect your laptop to your group's access point using either one of these SSIDs .</p>
47<p>Because we don't have a DHCP server on our network, you'll need to configure your laptop's network interface manually.</p>
48<p>  <strong>IP address</strong>: 10.10.0.9<br />  <strong>Netmask</strong>: 255.255.255.0<br />  <strong>DNS</strong>: 10.10.0.241</p>
49<p>Next ping the access point (.251), switch (.253) and the MacMini (.241) to make sure you can talk to your network devices.</p>
50<p>You should now be able to ssh to your MacMini. Because we enable DNS on the MacMini in the next session, you'll need to use the IP address to connect to the devices on your network.</p>
51<pre><code>ssh nsrc@10.10.0.241</code></pre>
52<p>Log in with the instructor password.</p>

54<p>Both of the network devices use web interfaces for administration. The access point and switch have already been configured for you, but in the next section you'll verify the settings so you are familiar with the minimum configuration that's needed to run a workshop.</p>
