Assignment Description -
Secure enterprise wireless local area networks LANs are an important component of modern network architecture. Such networks are required to support mobile devices and provide connectivity where wired connections are not practical or cost prohibitive.
Enterprise wireless LAN deployments have evolved from guest access in conference rooms, to limited hot zones of connectivity within the enterprise to full coverage throughout the organization. Unfortunately, many of these deployments are still insecure, leaving opportunities for the just plain curious or malicious hackers to try and access confidential enterprise information. Securing a wireless LAN is not hard - industry advances in technology and vendor innovation makes this easier than ever.
WPA2-Enterprise deployment includes installing a remote authentication dial-in user service RADIUS server, configuring access points with the encryption and RADIUS server information, configuring your operating system with the encryption and IEEE 802.1x settings, and then connecting to your secure wireless enterprise.
The standard for passing EAP over a network is IEEE 802.1x. In this authentication framework, the user who wishes to be authenticated is the supplicant. The RADIUS server doing the authentication is the authentication server, and the device at the AP, such as a laptop or smartphone, is the authenticator.
This assignment requires the students to design and implement a secure enterprise wireless network, considering the ethical implications.
Task - Design a secure enterprise wireless network, employing Boson Netsim. (400 words description of the designed network)
Please design the wireless network using Boson Netsim only.
