Cisco Wireless LAN Security introduces the various key aspects of wireless LAN security, illustrating security basics, standards, and vulnerabilities, and providing examples of architecture, design, and best practices. The book also contains generic wireless deployment patterns based on real-world actual customer installations and covers the configuration of wireless networks using Cisco products. Although the main focus of the book is WLAN security, other wireless topics peripheral to WLANs, but central to any contemporary discussion of wireless—such as mobility, hotspots, and campus wireless networks—are addressed. This book covers the newer topics like SWAN and wired/wireless integration using centralized deployment models. Included are detailed illustrations, checklists, design templates, and other resources that will be invaluable to network designers and operators.
