RE: Wireless LAN Security for Warehouse

["Nate McConnell" <nate () mcconnellsonline com>]

One suggestion I have is set your wireless up so that it has to authenticate
through a VPN or domain logon for some added security. Second I would
recommend that you use some form of IPSEC (preferably 3DES) on top of WEP.
Third make sure that any wireless network has is outside of the internal
server firewall and behind the main corp firewall so that it is semi secure
but if a cracker/hacker does try to get in they still cannot get to the
servers. Also run mac address filtering on the WAP's. Don't broadcast the
SSID and change it bi weekly, no DHCP, and 128 bit wep that changes
bi-weekly. Then make sure you monitor it to ensure that it is running
smoothly and also be wary of people getting in since wireless is wide open
to the public.
