Wireless RFPs

2014-03-28 Thread Christopher Wieringa
I'm going down the road of issuing my first RFP for wireless replacement for a set of buildings. My team and I have never issued an RFP before, so we're a bit unsure about everything that we should include (or shouldn't include) in the RFP. Has anyone issued a wireless RFP that wouldn't mind

One of the reasons that I'm holding off is the requirement for Prime Infrastructure 1.4, which has the warning of PI 1.4 will not be directly upgradable to one of the major release of the product and might have to wait for the following major release to be able to upgrade. Since I don't need

There is a recently formed netplus-eduroam-admins listserv created by the eduroam-US organization to discuss technical problems like this, and it recently has been having a very similar conversation about required RADIUS attributes, etc. (See

2012-08-01 Thread Christopher Wieringa
It is possibly to do WPA2-Enterprise with only EAP-MSCHAPv2 authentication, and this is what would be considered completely vulnerable now. Don't do this anymore if you are doing it. AFAIK, if you are using WPA2-Enterprise with PEAP/EAP-MSCHAPv2 you should still be fine. While you could

2012-04-03 Thread Christopher Wieringa
It is hard to say exactly why it isn't adding it in without seeing some actual configuration or server debugging text, but there are a few areas you can check. First, make sure that you have the dictionary with that radius attribute loaded. It should be loaded by default, but it doesn't

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Turning off TKIP to enable N

We went through the transition when we started buying 802.11n devices. For the most part, we advertised this change as preparing our network for higher wireless speeds with 802.11n. When we cut over to WPA2/AES only on our main SSID we additionally dropped 802.11b support. We were finding
