Wireless - Concerns
Staff is not trained on components of proposed wireless upgrade School’s goal, “to prepare students for the Digital World” is of concern:
Historic lack of complete infrastructure General fear of adopting & integrating technology improperly
Documentation shows “improper user activities” occur at rates proportional to the number of students in the Computer Science Department

Wireless - Load
Assumptions
APs degrade at about 55% of rated capacity Using 802.11b Required performance level is 100Kbps
60 happy users per AP 24 APs on campus
Enough for 1440 under balanced load conditions at minimum performance

Wireless - Antenna Distribution/Number
Physical layout is driving the minimum number of APs, not minimum capacity

Wireless – Threat Mitigation (Security)
Threat Wireless Packet Sniffers Man in the Middle Unauthorized Access Mitigated by IPSec encryption of wireless traffic IPSec encryption of wireless traffic The only known protocols for initial IP configuration (DHCP) and VPN access (DNS, Internet Key Exchange [IKE], and Encapsulating Security Payload [ESP]) are allowed from the WLAN to the network through filtering at the AP and Layer 3 switch. Hackers can spoof traffic on the wireless LAN, but only valid, authenticated IPSec packets will ever reach the production wired network ARP spoofing attacks can be launched however data is encrypted to to the VPN gateway so hackers will be unable to read the data. These threats are mitigated through good password policies and auditing. Only IKE, ESP, and DHCP are allowed from this segment into the production network. DNS is only provided once the client has connected…each client will be configured with the required IP connected… addresses required for client authentication when access processing processing (user account sign-up at Technical Services Team Help Desk) is signcompleted.

Wired LAN - Problems
Network Traffic—entire LAN consists of hubs, all connected computers see network traffic Management—the existing hardware does not provide a means to manage the configuration and performance of the network Security—the computers in the administrative offices are not currently protected from intrusion by any network level mechanism

19
Wired LAN - Requirements
Create a single unified campus wired LAN. Replace existing wired LAN with modern highperformance, yet cost-effective LAN Add wired network connectivity to the newconstruction buildings and connect them to the campus LAN The network traffic from the Digital Imaging Lab should be segmented from the rest of the LAN to prevent its traffic from affecting other segments Use manageable network hardware Provide a network level mechanism for securing access to the computers in the administrative offices

Wired LAN - Hardware
Cisco Catalyst line of switches 1000BASE-SX used to interconnect switches Redundancy
Each secondary switch is connected to the primary switch using two 1000BASE-SX connections. If one connection fails, the other can continue network traffic as normal. Uses Spanning Tree Protocol to prevent loops

Wired LAN - Security
Switches integrate with RADIUS server ACL can be set up to restrict access based on:
MAC addresses IP addresses TCP ports
Total number of devices connected to a single port can be limited Option to use full firewall instead
