Manageability  Least time managing the infrastructure  Standard Configuration = fast deployment  Access Points  End User  Health monitoring tools  Simple effective and secure

End User Configuration As simple as possible  Standard configuration for all users  Secure communication  Awareness Program  Flyers and Web instructions

Campus and User Security GOAL: Simple effective and secure Protect the end user  Encryption  Dynamic keys  Key rotation  Protect the Campus Network  VLAN’s and ACL’s  Encryption  Authentication  Role-based security context  Automatic VLAN switching  Per VLAN ACL’s  User Authentication Required  Wireless Encryption Required  Awareness VS Technical Controls

Possible Solutions Wi-FiManageabilityConfigurationSecurity OpenSimplest None Plain Text & Authenticated Moderate User Access Encrypted & No Auth ComplexModerateData Encrypted & Authenticated Complex? User & Data

Wireless Standards  Some Technical Jargon and …  Let the fun begin!  a/b/g/i  802.1X  EAP, PEAP, LEAP, TLS, TTLS  WEP, WPA, WPA2, TKIP, CCMP  RADIUS, IETF, EXTENDED TAGS  WIRELESS MESH

Wireless Standards PEAP with Generic Token Card (GTC) PEAP with MS-CHAP Version 2 Cisco LEAPEAP-TLS User Authentication Windows NT Active Directory Novell NDS OTP Windows NT Active Directory Windows NT Domains, Active Directory Windows NT Active Directory Novell NDS OTP Requires Server Certificates Yes NoYes Requires Client Certificates No Yes

THE TEAM Network Team:  Select vendor supporting selected standards  Determine needs for additional VLANS  Conduct site survey and deploy AP’s  Server Team:  Define/Create AD groups for VLAN mappings  User Dept mappings delegated to depts.  ADSI Scripts to regroup users  Security Team:  Selecting and implementing the standards  Defining and implementing QoS requirements

The Implementation 802.1X PEAP Authentication with Dynamic VLAN Assignment

Hardware and Vendors  Project Team Selects:  CISCO Aironet AP’s  Coverage inside buildings  We started with Dorms and Admin Buildings  Mostly one AP per floor (no overlapping channels)  Vivato Panels  Green space coverage  5 Panels, each panel is made on 11 AP’s  Very Directional.

RADIUS CONFIGURATION  Database Mappings  Prioritize group mappings

RADIUS CONFIGURATION  Use RADIUS Shared Secret  Between AP and RADIUS Server  Make good use of RADIUS Attributes  VLAN TAGGING

The Flyer The Instructions … WIRELESS Configuration … and the Pitfalls

Shared Computers  The Problem  Authentication of new users  The Solution

PDA’s  The Problem  Limited Support for 802.1X on PDA’s  The Solution  Funk’s Odyssey (Commercial)  Future Plans …

Remote Locations (no VLAN)  The Problem  RADIUS TAGGING on FLAT NETWORK …  The Solution

The Business Case for Wi-Fi  $$$$  Wireless GB bridges VS Fiber  Great success in Resident Halls  Full VLAN Support (Layer 2)  Wireless Labs and Classrooms  VBHEC Lab 100% Wireless  Wireless Collaboration Classes  WPA2 ‘almost’ as secure as Wired  Wireless VoIP Phones
