RE: Wirless LAN

A)  Establish policy and standards.
1)  Implement WEP, which is broken but better than nothing.
2)  Do not broadcast the SSID.
3)  Do MAC or layer 2 filtering.
4)  Enforce authentication
5)  And if you are really paranoid, use a VPN.

And oh yes, monitor your network!

Subject: Wirless LAN

We're going to be taking the dive on a WLAN here soon.  We have two
floors and two wings on each floor.  I'm thinking of 2 access points per
wing.  My question, is that I'm looking for opinions on how best to set
this up security-wise.  I've been reading a lot about this lately, but
maybe someone on this list has set this up and give me some input.  My
Wireless knowledge is probably a 4 (out of 10).  Thanks,
-Tim
