Date of submission Wireless Security Policy All of the Cisco Wireless Ap’s would be configured with a dedicated SSID which will help provide separate connection to the students and guests. As such, the faculty would have access to a secure login which would not be made available to the students, while the students have a different login interface. All of them would be registered in a secure database. Administrators would be able to add students to the existing database and register their machines and provide them with the required ID and password. In order to ensure that there is no rogue or unauthorized person connected to the network, CCA and the CSA or the Cisco Secure Agent would be implemented (Neil Anderson, 2008). They would regularly scan the client’s device to make sure that only authorized persons are connected. Apart from this, the wireless connection on the access points would be protected by WPA2

Wireless Network Security

Random checks are performed at regular intervals to check for user activity. When any of the users is found breaking security code, an immediate action is taken to notify user about violation.

Following are few activities on regular basis to ensure security:

•

The deployed wireless network automatically disables rogue access points when required. In order to connect to the wireless network, all wireless laptops are required to be the current domain members. A group policy is enforced to all domain members so as to lock their system to SSID access point. For network layer protection, firewalls must be installed throughout the network. Wireless connections should always be WPA2 secured. All systems must have anti-virus software which provides protection from viruses. To ensure that only valid users access the network system, server certificates are installed in the
