Hi there,
Had the office go wireless recently, didnt inmagine it will go this well.
Have a Draytek router and two Linksys WAP’s connected. Really save’s space with those old wires going all over the place, and whats more, performance in speed even with G band cards have rocketed compared to 10/100 wired network we had.
There is growing concern with security however, not that we had a break in…There is MAC filtering available on the router and WAP’s as well as MAC to IP bind on Draytek, in short even if you somehow managed to hack the key and spoofed your mac, there’s no way you’re making any use of network resources including the internet untill your MAC is manually typed in the router and been assigned an IP.
There is just two questions I wanted to discuss, what do you think about the security measures already stated above (of course nothing is full proof).
As opposed to setting up a dedicated RADIUS server?
Which one has more advantages and drawbacks, keeping in mind it is a small office with no more than 20 client PC’s (wireless) and 3 servers (on cable) and a few iphones and PDA’s.
And do you really need a active directory to set up windows IAS?
Heard a couple of people say not really since you will only need it to export digital certificates with ease (I dont mind doing this manually) to the entire policy group.
Looking forward to your comments?
