Implementing a Secure 802.11b Campus LAN

Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:Implementing a Secure 802.11b Campus LAN (ID: EPS139)
Author(s):John Hofmann (Bethune-Cookman College)
Origin:Contributed by Organizations or Campuses (2003)
Type:Effective Practices
Abstract:

In 2002, Bethune-Cookman College (BCC), a small, historically black college, decided to overlay its existing wired network with wireless. BCC determined it was both unwise and too costly to convert completely to wireless. Logistical complications in some locations, however, made wireless installation the solution of choice. Network security was paramount, and the decision was made to limit wireless access to members of the campus community (students, faculty, and staff) without creating excessive maintenance requirements.

Homegrown Wireless LAN Security

Added by the EDUCAUSE Librarian
Title:Homegrown Wireless LAN Security (ID: EPS198)
Author(s):John B. Kalbach, Jr. (The Pennsylvania State University)
Origin:Contributed by Organizations or Campuses (2004)
Type:Effective Practices
Abstract:

The Penn State network holds more than 100,000 registered hosts, with approximately 200 connecting wirelessly. With the growing demand for wireless (802.11b) access to the Penn State network, we needed a way to prevent unauthorized access to our main network via wireless access points and to protect data as it traveled through the air using strong encryption rather than WEP. To meet our needs, the security solution had to be inexpensive, easy to maintain, and support Windows, Macintosh, and UNIX. We decided to use our existing infrastructure as much as possible; our VPN concentrator provides encryption and our existing Kerberos domain authenticates users. Using Access Control Lists on our routers, we were able to leverage our existing infrastructure to restrict unauthorized access and encrypt traffic on our WLANs, resulting in the PSU Wireless SecurNet.
