Networks and Security Group

23-Jan-2005

• Revision of the VLAN schedule, primary aim to assign private IPs to most of our systems especially the Research Labs.

31-May-2005

• Wireless network - phase 1

• Properly install and test accees points as they are now without any AA scheme or OS upgrade - good old open way

• Test - proper network access, XWIN, printing, E-mail etc.

• Wireless network - phase 2

• Upgrade all access points we use to IOS software
• Decide on the best AA scheme and see that is implimented in a minimum configuration

Radius server running is a must for this phase with NIS capabilities

• Wireless network - phase 3

• See if we can put these access points in a dual VLAN mode so that they work for both the newcampus and zephyros SSID
• Make Radius authenticate via the LDAP server and/or NIS
