> Do you use WEP and if so what level of encryption? Yes - 128-bit dynamic WEP keys
> Do you use a Radius server or another means of authentication? Yes, we are currently using the Cisco Access Control Server (ACS) to authenticate the clients. > Do you use DHCP and if so is it open or reserved? Open - however a client does not receive a DHCP address until they authenticate successfully. > Do charge a fee for wireless access and if so how much? No fee, however it is only open to faculty, staff, and students of the University. > Which vendor did you select for your wireless infrastructure? Cisco Aironet 350/1200/1100 series access points > If you have any additional information/suggestions/warnings > I would greatly appreciate the advice. We have approximately 40000 users here. With a large userbase, I do not recommend trying MAC address authentication. We chose the Cisco solution because it provides the security and integration we needed. ACS goes out to our Oracle database to determine if a user is authorized to access the wireless network. The only downside are the limited clients we support because we're doing LEAP authentication. Presently only Cisco Aironet and Apple Airport clients support LEAP. However, there is a 3rd party company, Meetinghouse Data, whichs has developed a LEAP supplicant that works with almost any network card; of course it costs money (around $39 per client). ----- Gabriel Kuri Operating Systems & Network Analyst Enterprise Computing - (909) 869-2896 California State Polytechnic University, Pomona ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/memdir/cg/.
