802.1x Authentication & Authorization Deployment for Wireless Network at BYU-Hawaii

The entire building will share one internet access connection, which is a T-1 link from Verizon. A T1 link is one of the most common Internet access connections used by small businesses. T-1 Link is very fast, consistent and protected. It runs with a bandwidth speeds of 1.5Mb (WordPress.com). That speed is enough to achieve and complete essential business functions. Security is definitely a must and big concern that has to be taken into consideration when design networks, whether it is a business or a home network. Building a network in a university, we have to protect students and employee’s data as well as any intellectual property that college has on the servers and computers. Additional, there are other considerations for each lab, classroom, office, and the library including the capability to print and

The devices that need to connect are workstations, wireless access points, security cameras, servers, phones and printers, with enough available bandwidth between buildings and devices. The wireless network itself will be able to handle multiple devices and there needs to be enough coverage throughout the campus, including the outdoors. Separate wireless network will need to be establish to ensure that guest traffic does not affect church network traffic.

Task 1 Problem is Access by unauthorized user, theft by internal user threat. So I redesigned the network to solve the existing problems. As per prior section that about security issue and risk of the network, hence the following paragraph is going to elaborate and discuss some solution and planning of data protection

Organizations should develop a security policy for the wireless LAN infrastructure prior to the implementation stage. In order to have a strong security policy,

There are various types of equipment that the company should look for when considering this network. The first item to look at when considering equipment is the Operating system and software that we would need. Next, the group took into consideration the type of server the company needs to make this network a reality. Another thing that we looked at is the possibility of having ThinClients over regular desktops for all workstations. Of course, it was taken into consideration that some employees would not want ThinClients. So, we show the type of tower we plan to place into those spaces, along with any peripheral device for both. Then, we will look at the network devices that will go into each building that include switches, routers, repeaters, hubs, and wireless access points. Finally, the group will note guidelines for choosing a local ISP at each site. Each Item outlined helps to build a network based on the specifications given by the company.

Currently all the sites are still running 56K modems, this technology is outdated. This is technology is hindering the communication speed between each site. Having a high-speed connection is crucial to provide real time updates. These updates provide the profits made each day and the inventory sold so that those items can be restocked in real-time. These modems will be used as redundant system and a new Wide Area Network (WAN) will be created, each site will be setup with a Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN). The WAN will connect all the WLANs together. This will boost the network speed of the WAN and improve the way employees communicate. The network will be able to support a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) for telephone

The best network design to ensure the security of Corporation Techs internal access while retaining public Web site availability consists of several layers of defense in order to protect the corporation’s data and provide accessibility to employees and the public.

In large installations, the roaming functionality provided by multiple access points enables wireless users to move freely throughout the facility while maintaining uninterrupted access to the network” (Cisco).

The authentication method used to verify the user (and server) credentials on WPA/WPA2-Enterprise networks is defined in the IEEE 802.1X standard. This requires an external server called a Remote Authentication Dial In User Service (RADIUS) or Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (AAA) server, which is used for a variety of network protocols and environments including

For security on the network we will use the 802.1x this provide port security and provide port based network access control as well as authenticated network access control. Using the 802.1x can increase security by providing support for authentication, accounting, user identification and dynamic key management. This level of security will also be able to set allow and deny network for connectivity and also control VLAN access and many other traffic policies.

This will provide the company with the chance to more efficiently manage its activities (Mangiaracina et al, 2011). At present, the company does not have any key plans in place to provide it with help with managing its applications. It is however critical for the company’s management to ensure that it clearly understands the importance of putting in places a wireless technology. This is due to the fact that the company will have a better chance to track its inventory while at the same time ensure that it is able to remotely control all of its 10 new stores (Rekik et al, 2009).

Because this is going to incorporate a whole campus there will be a wireless receiver at the top of every building. However we will have them all in together so that way they work as one and a student will be able to access any of them from any location and allow them to transition from one to another with ease. We will also incorporate a repeater on the bottom floor to allow for full building coverage and to extend the network throughout the campus itself. The Only Exception will be for the library and in the library we will have a strict Network that will allow for the students to be able to access specific training material and the library's internal architecture. The equipment itself will be a very good Mount of switches and routers to allow for easy authentication and access. The equipment will be scattered throughout each building and we will ensure that there is proper coverage of the wireless network and proper capability of the staff meeting to be able to handle the amount of devices inside of the

The proposed network is designed for the UMUC new building in Rockville. This new building will have some administrative offices, lecture rooms, library, and computer labs with an open Wi-Fi. This new building will have total six computer labs that will be used for instruction. Each of these labs will have 25 computers, 23 student computers and one instructor computer, one server in the closet and in addition to the six computer labs, there will also be a Student Computer Lab that will provide computer access to students for doing their own purpose like homework. In Student Computer Lab there will be 30 computers and a server in the closet. There will be 10 computers for student’s use and 5 computers for Library staff in the library so they can access to the library resources for staff use, with the exception of the admissions office, which will have five computers. There will be six class room which will have a computer for instructor’s use. Finally, there will be 7 offices in the building and each of these offices will have one computer. There will be two server rooms, one on the first floor and another one on the second floor. There should be at least 3 separate networks: Administrative, Instructional, and Public. All staff-accessed computers will be on the

The trade school in the Springfield region has developed and implemented a WAN link to integrate with all sites as follows: Worchester, Boston, Sacramento and Los Angeles, for better communication purposes. The expansion of their networks has come with some difficulties in communicating from one region to the other, due to their IP address scheme, leading configured networks are not functioning as they should. However, xACME wants to upgrade and exchange their network infrastructure to became more efficient and more productive for all users.

Now-a-days, communication had become a major role within the people. Communication is done by a medium with sender and receiver. In internet the way of communication takes place by medium of wired and wireless. There is a rapid growth in both wired and wireless infrastructures. It makes use of the customers for the internet connection in many possible ways .In most of the places wireless internet has been used. Most of the wireless spontaneous network is not secure because it is not a planned network and network boundaries are defined poor, due to the lack of centralized server in the network. Usually wireless networks perform both communication and measurement in a given network.
