Hi,
Looking at installing Packetfence at a school district with 8,000 wired
workstations and 2,000 wireless devices across 26 schools.
The goal is to lock down the network so switch ports are not open for
network access unless approved by a on-site technician and wireless
connections are more secure than just using a basic SSID. Dynamic VLAN
assignment would be a plus for guest access.
Switches are all fairly Current Cisco models that support 802.1x
Does it make sense to use 802.1x on all wired devices? 90% of workstations
are Windows XP. If we went with link up/link down would we be looking at
performance issues on a single PF server? Would Multiple PF servers be
recommended?
Configuring 802.1x on 8,000 workstation would take some time since we would
have to push out scripts to enable it and configure it properly. Wired
guest workstations would also have to be configured with 802.1x which might
not be possible.
Any recommendations?
Thanks,
