MASQUERADE MODES

When the ESTeem Horizon is configured in either the Access Point Masquerade or the Client Masquerade modes, the wireless

modem functions as a network firewall. If access to the wired network is the greatest concern, place the ESTeem in the Masquerade

mode and the wireless network will be completely isolated from the wired Ethernet network.

INCREASING NETWORK SECURITY

The following are a few suggestions to help improve the overall security of your wireless network:

Enable the security. If you research all of the articles regarding hackers, they have gotten into the user’s network due to the

security not being enabled.

Set the ACL filter to include only those MAC address of the wireless Ethernet device being used on the network.

Make sure the keys are not reused in your company, since reuse increases the statistical likelihood that someone can figure the

key out and change the default password on your access point or wireless router

As a network administrator, you should periodically survey your company using a tool like NetStumbler to see if any "rogue"

access points pop up within your company without authorization. All of your hard work to "harden" your wireless network

could be wasted if a rogue AP was plugged into your network behind the firewall.

Many access points allow you to control access based on the MAC address of the NIC attempting to associate with it. If the

MAC address of your NIC isn't in the table of the access point, you won't associate with it. And while it's true that there are

ways of spoofing a MAC address that's been sniffed out of the air, it takes an additional level of sophistication to spoof a MAC

address. The downside of deploying MAC address tables is that if you have a lot of access points, maintaining the tables in each

access point could be time consuming. Some higher-end, enterprise-level access points have mechanisms for updating these

tables across multiple access points of the same brand.

Consider using an additional level of authentication, such as Remote Access Dailin User Service (RADIUS), before you permit

an association with your access points through WPA and WPA2 Enterprise.

If you're deploying a wireless router, think about assigning static IP addresses for your wireless NICs and turn off Dynamic

Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). If you're using a wireless router and have decided to turn off DHCP, also consider

changing the IP subnet. Many wireless routers default to the 192.168.1.0 network and use 192.168.1.1 as the default router.

Only purchase Access Points that have flashable firmware. There are a number of security enhancements that are being

developed, and you want to be sure that you can upgrade your access point.

A simple security technique used by the military is to have the administrator periodically change the key for the system i.e.

weekly, monthly, etc.
