WLAN Security Issues

In the past, security on WLANs was not a major concern. This lack of concern was, in large part, because WLANs were restrictive. Some of these restrictions involved bandwidth, proprietary systems, and the inability to manage the WLAN as part of the LAN. The most common methods of securing the WLAN were service set identifiers (SSIDs) and the authentication process.

Rogue Access Point Location

On the Rogue AP MAC Address page, choose Map to display the currently calculated rogue access point location on the Maps > Building Name > Floor Name page. If you are using Cisco WCS Location, Cisco WCS compares the RSSI signal strength from two or more access points to find the most probable location of the rogue access point and places a small skull-and-crossbones indicator at the most likely location. Cisco WCS Base (without the Location option) relies on RSSI signal strength from the...

Data is not secure between the access point and the client

Web authentication allows users to authenticate through a web browser interface. Clients who attempt to access the WLAN using HTTP are automatically redirected to a login page. The login page is customizable for both logos and text. The maximum simultaneous authentication requests using web authentication is 21. The maximum number of local web authentication users is 2500. Web authentication is generally used for guest access, and you should bear in mind that client data is not secured between...

And WPA Authentication and Key Management Overview

The primary difference in WPA is in the initial association request (probe request) that the client and access point send. The client and access point must agree to a security capability during association. After initial association and exchange of security capabilities, the client and authentication servers proceed with standard 802.1x authentication. After successful authentication, the server derives and distributes a master key to the access point. The same master key is derived at the...

Lightweight Access Point Split MAC Architecture

Lightweight Access Point Protocol (LWAPP) changed the way that WLAN deployments were managed with the concept of a split MAC the ability to separate the real-time aspects of the 802.11 protocol from most of its management aspects. Lightweight Access Point Split MAC Architecture Cisco has designed a centralized, lightweight access point wireless architecture to address the unique RF management needs of enterprises. A core component is its split MAC architecture, where the processing of 802.

Cisco LEAP Authentication

The authentication can start in one of two ways by client initiation with the Start message or by access point initiation with the Request Identity message. In either case, the client responds to the access point with a user name. The access point encapsulates that response in a RADIUS Access-Request message and forwards it to the RADIUS server. The RADIUS server then begins the challenge response process with the client. After the challenges are met with correct authentication, a Success...
