Thank you for your reponse.
Here's a senario, Client has multiple sites (buildings) , I'd like to set
a wireless network which provides full access for the full time employees
and limited access ( internet and mail access) for guests or contractor
who come onboard to spend few hours a day. Now, I thought about creating
2 seperate Wireless Vlans, one for the employess with SSID "empolyees"
and another for guests SSID "guests". and then control access from layer
2/3 devices. My questions are :
1. How can I come up with an authentication process for the Guests to be
able to authenticate to the wireless network upon arrival (keeping in
mind, they might come onboard with different vendor wireless adapters),
in addition to that , I need to make sure that WEP Key, and SSID info
will rotate and/or change when they try to authenticate back in. Using
The key rotation feature will serve this purpose, but is there a feature
for SSID rotation?. if there's will it be helpfull to enhance the
wireless security, or WEP key rotation is enough?
I know you mentioned LEAP with not work with other client adapters (other
than cisco), but is there an alternative to LEAP (generic protocol) that
can possibly work with different vendors to enable Radius or Cisco Secure
ACS authentication?
2. Can Raduis server help rotate all WEP keys and/or SSIDs for all APs.
I'm thinking instead of doing this on each AP, it will be nice to have
the server do that , from only one place.
Sorry for the long questions, I'd truly appreciate any input.
thanks,
Eyad
