We will be installing a wireless network in our on campus residence halls this summer. As part of the project we are also looking to increase security on our wireless network. Our current security policy is all wireless users must authenticate on to the network which is controlled by our Impulse NAC. Once connected, network access is limited by access lists for the VLANs. Our current network consists of Cisco 1200 APs which are managed by a WLSE appliance. We are looking to go to encrypted connections, along with looking at other alternatives for authentication such as 802.1x. I am looking to find what others have done in similar implementations, both success and failures, along with the challenges associated with such a project.
