Wireless Network
Overview
WLAN - a wireless network, also called SSID. Like "Church Guest" or "Church Staff." These are made available by APs and managed by the Wireless Controller.
There are thee major ways to join a WLAN:
- WPA (WPA2, WPA3)- everyone uses the same shared password. The password itself is referred to as a PSK - pre-shared key.
- 802.1x - each user uses their own computer/email login name and password to log in to the WLAN.
- Open- no password necessary- typically on guest networks. We should make these open networks safer by using Client Isolation.
