Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] How many SSID's?

Matt, It seems that either way (802.1x or Web based authentication) you have to block between authentication and authorization. Return the LDAP status field (student/fac/staff), and if source is Faculty subnet and status field is Student > deny With 802.1x, in the Radiator Radius server, I can ch

Hi We are using Nortel which is OEM'd from Trapeze. We can control the vlan assignment if we use 802.1x authentication and get Radius to check a field in LDAP to decide which vlan to put them in. The problem we have is we want to use the built-in Web Portal mechanism. This does not allow mulitipl

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] PEAP Authentication Question

2006-11-10 Thread Dennis Xu
We are using PEAP/WPA with Cisco ACS server and Lightweight APs. Yes you only need install cert on ACS server. We have cert from Thawte installed on ACS, and on Client side, client needs to check “Validate Server Certificate” and check “Thawte Premium Server CA”. Everything works fine.  

PEAP Authentication Question

  I'm in the middle of testing authentication using PEAP 802.1x and  WPA/TKIP. We are trying to find a semi high level of security but with a trade off for user simplicity. We currently are running Cisco ACS Appliance and Cisco 1200 series fat AP's that use Active Directory for the user auth

Charles, Looking for a general review. I'm trying to figure out if the technology will be capable of reliably supporting a small office. Also, curious about the typical speed that I could expect. Also, do you believe that encryption is important? I am concerned that somebody would plug in anothe

Hi Frank, Several comments about HomePlug 1. It's generally a 1 injection point / transformer type system (most vendors make some sort of panel extension capabilities, but there is fairly high loss when this is implemented) 2. Medium is shared like wireless, but you only have 1 channel. The onl

Hi Stephen, We've been doing a lot of testing of Powerline solutions lately (specifically the new Motorola Intellon 2nd Gen line). The question you're asking is fairly general. Do you have some more specific questions? Or are you just curious and want some sort of general review? -Charles ---

Steve, I've not seen the Corinex products, but have been watching the powerline solutions for some time. Most first generation devices were severely degraded by line noise on the circuit, but subsequent designs seem to be greatly improved. I have used the Netgear HDX101 devices, but only in a limi

Stephen: I have used them, but that was 2+ years ago. I would recommend googling for 'Corinex reviews' and check around. Besides Corinex, I believe there are other HomePlug vendors, too. One of the things to watch out for is crossing transformers. Regards, Frank -Original Message- Fr

Anybody using Ethernet over Power solutions?

2006-11-10 Thread s . holland
I am trying to do wireless in an old historic building and I can't run any cables to the AP's. I was looking at an Ethernet over power solution from a company called Corinex. The idea is you use the building power wiring to carry your ethernet. Any place a power plug exists you plug in an adaptor
