IEEE to Amend 802.11 - LAN Standards
http://search-engines-web.com/ writes "http://www.eetimes.com/sys/news/showArticle.jhtml? articleID=59302251The IEEE has begun work on two amendments to the IEEE 802.11 standard for wireless local area networks.IEEE P802.11u, "Wireless LAN Medium Access Control (MAC) and Physical Layer (PHY) Specifications: IEEE 802.11 Interworking with External Networks," will harmonize the ability of IEEE 802.11 equipment and external networks to work together. The common wireless interworking framework it will provide will include protocol exchanges across the air interface and primitives to support the higher-layer interactions involved.IEEE P802.11v, "Wireless LAN Medium Access Control (MAC) and Physical Layer (PHY) Specifications: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Network Management," will create a complete and coherent upper layer interface for managing IEEE 802.11 devices in wireless networks."
Securing the Campus Network
Pity today's network manager, who must develop a strategy to counter network attacks from outside as well as from within. Currently, the trend is toward replacing a series of isolated network appliances with an integrated campus network security system built around third-generation switches operating at wire speed. The keys to effective security include a powerful policy engine closely tied to all security devices, integrated network management of security functions on both wireline and wireless network segments, and effective authentication, authorization, and intruder detection, including quarantine of unreliable hosts. Enterasys Networks and Alcatel lead switching vendors when it comes to overall security functionality.
Cisco Wireless Solution Helps Florida Hospital Enhance Patient Care
Florida Hospital administrators wanted to link more than 90 facilities within the vast Florida Hospital system to increase the patient care capability of caregivers, make network management faster and easier, and reduce overall costs. To accomplish these objectives, they chose a Cisco Aironet wireless solution by Cisco Systems. The main elements of the wireless local area network (WLAN) are Cisco Aironet 1200 Series access points, Cisco Aironet 350 Series and 1400 Series wireless bridges, and the CiscoWorks Wireless LAN Solution Engine. More than 14,670 total users currently access the hospital's wireless network - including bedside clinicians and other healthcare providers.
Switch AirPort Connection 1.0
This script switches your AirPort network connection. It takes the last name of its own file name and uses that as the name of the wireless network to join. Next, it tries to look up the AirPort network key for this network name in the keychain, and finally, it switches the connection. You can just duplicate the script several times and change the file names, then you have settings files for each network you use. You could then use these with the Location Manager's "Auto Open Items" module to switch your connection whenever you switch locations.
Wireless Network Sniffer
Because of the security risks of a wireless network, you'll want to invest in a wireless network sniffer for your company's network. A wireless network sniffer captures data which is transmitted on your wireless network, separating and identifying wireles...
