Evaluate and Solve Common Security-Related Problems
Introduction
Guidelines: It’s always best to introduce a paper to the reader. It sets the tone and provides an overview of what will be covered and what the goals are. * What is the intent of the lab? What issues are addressed? Why is it important? What are the goals?
For this week’s lab we are using various scenarios to compare and contrast different antenna types and solutions to reduce signal spillover in a specific wireless network. Also we are evaluating and comparing the different possible security methods that could be implemented in a wireless network and listed the advantages and disadvantages of each network. And also looking into possible methods for locating a rogue access point, with the goal of getting a better understanding of not only troubleshooting issues but learning some methods for securing the network also.
Specific questions from iLab
Guidelines: Include a minimum of one paragraph; best practice is two or more paragraphs. Always use complete college-level sentences.
Scenario 1 1. Discuss how changing the type of antennas affects the amount of signal spilling outside the building. What are your recommendations? In this situation if the campus is using Omni-directional antennas and we are getting a significant amount of spillage, it is a problem that could be related to using Omni-directional antennas. With the antenna signal spilling out much farther than it needs to go in any given direction. It could be a situation where directional antennas in certain spots may have created a much better signal area without there being significant amount of spillage. But that may not be completely necessary as it could also cause a lowering of signal strength
