[afnog] Network Authentication

[Kasonda, P. Amon]

Dear All,

I would like to implement a Network Authentication solution at 
our university campus, which has about 1000 active users at any given time.
This includes students and staff. The network architecture is fine and is based
on VLANS architecture. Students access internet through wireless, while members
of staff access through the LAN (DHCP)in offices.

The purpose of my writing is to seek advice on the best but simple Network 
Authentication strategy we can implement. We are trying to avoid a situation
where anyone can plug in their laptops or computer to the network and access
internet and other services without being prompted for login details.

Your professional responses are highly appreciated.


Kind regards,
Amon Kasonda

Hi,

Am looking to understand how hotspots wotk in terms of management overhead
and keeping track of logged in users.

What capacity is ideal for a connection to a Radius server for
authentication.
After authentication how is tracking of users kept to ensure that management
traffic is kept at a minimum.

Regards,
Righa Shake
