Please log in for more thread options Wonder if anyone can help me here! We have 6 sites, all connected together with various leased lines and VPN links. The IP addressing is like this Site 1 - 192.168.201.0 Site 2 - 192.168.202.0 Site 3 - 192.168.203.0 etc... All offices can talk IP to one another. I would like to have a single centralised wireless network system, so I can restrict on Mac address, and update encryption keys in one place. Is this possible? Thanks! | ||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options Yes. That's what a RADIUS server does. It provides authorization (login/passwd) and authentication services. It also provides a unique, use once, WPA key for each session to both the connected access point and the client. No need for a shared WPA-PSK key. Since it can use an LDAP or SQL server for authentication, you can also use it to distribute server and network rights. See huge list of attributes at: <http://freeradius.org/rfc/attributes.html>
which should give you a clue as to what can be done. Note that it can
setup and break down a VPN tunnel for you. There's no need to restrict by MAC address as the login/password is more effective and unlike a MAC address, cannot be spoofed. Search Google for details on how to setup a RADIUS server with your unspecified hardware. <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RADIUS>
