Authenticated Network Access (ANA)

Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:Authenticated Network Access (ANA) (ID: EDU0180)
Author(s):David Packham (University of Utah) and Jon Peters (University of Utah)
Origin:Presented at EDUCAUSE Annual Conferences (2001)
Type:Presentations/Speeches
Abstract:The University of Utah, like many peer institutions, has a growing need to support general access network ports and wireless mobile computing applications. With the recent addition of the University Student Village and a need to support smart classrooms allowing mobile computing access, we are currently deploying this design for delivering ubiquitous IP dial tone in a secure manor. This presentation will outline our authenticated network access solution. Working with Cisco and open source software, our design makes use of their VLAN Manager & Policy Server.
