Strange Security Tactic of Wireless Network Security

Disable DHCP

Disable DHCP at first, this may sound like a strange security tactic, but for wireless networks, it makes sense. With this step, hackers would be forced to decipher your IP address, subnet mask, and other required TCP/IP parameters. If a hacker is able to make use of your access point for whatever reason, he or she will still need to figure out your IP addressing as well.

Disable or modify SNMP settings

If your access point supports SNMP, either disable it or change both the public and private community strings. If you don’t take this step, hackers can use SNMP to gain important information about your network.

Lock Down Wireless Network Using Access Lists

Use access lists to further lock down your wireless network, implement an access list, if possible. Not all wireless access points support this feature, but if yours does, it will allow you to specify exactly what machines are allowed to connect to your access point. The access points that support this feature can sometimes use Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) to periodically download updated lists in order to prevent the administrative nightmare of having to sync these lists on every unit.

Do I need a crossover cable to configure a Cisco 1231 AP?

cisco
nopers asked:


When connecting a PC to a Cisco 1231 access point Ethernet port, do I need a crossover cable? I don’t currently have flat or rolled cables to plug into the console port, but I do have straight-through and crossover cables. If I want to plug directly into the factory defaulted 1231, can I do it with a straight-through or do I have to have a crossover?

Thanks!
