WIRELESS MANAGEMENT AND ANALYSIS
AirWave's latest management suite supports multiple platforms and diverse technologies while providing value missing from native support tools.
Focus is on addressing and mitigating wireless LAN interface issues.
At a Defcon convention, engineers from purveyor AirDefense reported detecting 807 attacks -- some unique to WLANs -- in a matter of two hours, including ones that use wireless management frames to launch attacks.
Proxim's announcement of a new access point and management suite bucks the industry trend toward integrated, hardware-based, wireless switching systems.
Cisco Systemsreported security vulnerabilities in several products and issued patches to fix them, including its Wireless LAN Solution Engine (WLSE), CRS-1 Carrier Router System and 12000-series routers.
Wireless vendors show enterprise gear at Wi-Fi Planet event
Proxim's new access point and management suite opens the way for multi-vendor WLANs.
Solution: HP turned to AirWave's AirWave Management Platform to configure and manage its multivendor mix of APs. As Bobby Burch, the network management engineer in charge of wireless management services, puts it, they treat wireless as a hostile network. Another benefit of AMP is that it offers the ability to quickly repair out-of-compliance APs, says Burch.
Need to move lots of data from point A to point B without Fiber or Copper? We tested seven fixed wireless systems and found two to our liking, but which offering was the best value?
Switch vendors want to sideline servers by making their devices smarter. Now IT must decide if this is a brave new world ... or a nightmare of lock-in and higher costs.
Here's the fourth segment of Chapter 2 of Home Network Security Simplified--an easy-to-follow explanation of how to make sure that your home network is secure--why it's important, and amazingly, how few of us actually do it. Part IV offers a step-by-step how to enable WEP Encryption on the Wireless NIC and using Windows XP.
Availability of local support is one of the biggest challenges to remote-site management. We examine two technologies essential to supporting those sites--network protocol analyzers and remote-access and control software--and compare commercial products with their open-source counterparts.
Aruba Networks and AirWave Wireless have teamed up to provide enterprises with an integrated solution to migrate their legacy wireless local area networks to a more up-to-date centralized architecture.
The Virtual Switching System can link two catalyst 6500s together, but 10-Gig Ethernet is a bottleneck. The new 4500-E offer 30 W power over Ethernet, but only on half of its ports.
Small enterprises can benefit from the growth potential afforded by wireless. We evaluated six WLANs; one will suit your needs to a T.
