ITWorks: Enterprise WLAN Design, Security, and Implementation

This report outlines the design and implementation of a wireless LAN (WLAN) for an organization, focusing on security and integration with existing infrastructure. The project addresses organizational and regulatory security policies, architecture design for network integration using Aruba network technology, firewall configuration for compliance, secure guest access architecture, and a security plan for wireless vulnerability mitigation. A wireless site survey is conducted to optimize access point placement, and an implementation schedule with a testing plan is developed. The final deliverable is a statement of work document for client sign-off, ensuring the WLAN solution provides enhanced security and functionality compared to the existing network.

1. Introduction
This project aims to create, design and implementation for a wireless LAN for an
organization. The manager was asked you to lead the Wireless LAN design and implementation
for an organization. So, user needs to create the effective wireless LAN for an organization.
These wireless LAN network will be designed and discussed in detail. The Wireless LAN
solution is based on organizational and regulatory security policies to provide the high security
for an organization. This wireless design is used to integrate the organization network and it use
technology to access the any environmental considerations. The existing wireless LAN does not
provide the security for an organization. So, it needs to provide the security problem’s solution to
design and implement the wireless LAN by develop the firewall configuration on the existing
network. These are will be discussed in detail.
2. Organizational & Regulatory Security Policies
The proposed wireless LAN solution is follows the organizational and regulatory security
policies to identify the current wireless network security standards to create the enterprise
wireless LAN security authentication and encryption by using the encryption protocol and
security authentication policies. These are used to implement the enterprise wireless
infrastructure deployment to provide the effective wireless LAN solution for an organization.
3. Architecture Design for Network Integration
The Aruba network integration requires choosing the technology to support the any environmental
considerations of wireless LAN for an enterprise. The proposed WLAN design is needs for WLAN
network authentication, routing, IP subnets, VLANS and network connectivity. The proposed network
diagram is shown below (Hallberg, 2013).

4. Develop Firewall Configuration for Organization Compliance
The development of firewall is aims to establish a controlled link. It is used to protect the
promises the network from internet based attached and it provide the single choke point to
protect the Aruba organization network. Cisco ASA firewalls to integrate the multiple enterprise
class and next generation network security services without sacrificing the network performance.
The development of firewall configuration is used for organization compliance to provide the
effective network access. It also included the firewall policies and it used to identify the specific
characteristics about a data packet passing through the network and it differs from the access
control lists.
5. Architecture Design Guest Access
The proposed WLAN network is also focus and identifies the architecture design guest
access and it used to identify the captive portal requirement, user role, VLAN and IB subnet
connectivity. The WALN design also follows the organization compliance like guest policies and
firewall policies to provide the secure and guest access for an organization by using the user
access procedures.
6. Develop Security Plan for Wireless Vulnerability Mitigation
The proposed wireless LAN needs to develop the security plan to provide the secure
WLAN network for an organization. The development of security plan is done by using the
wireless vulnerability mitigation and it used to provide the better guest access and security for a
future and it allow for more automated approach to provisioning guest access. It follows
procedures to reduce the organizational network attacks (Kurose & Ross, 2017).
7. Wireless Site Survey
The wireless site survey is used to provide the effective wireless LAN for an organization
at appropriate location. It uses the Data and RF rate maps to identify the regulatory requirements
for country location. It has 2.4 GHz RF to provide the effective data rate for an organization.

10. Conclusion
This project is successfully created the Wireless LAN solution for an organization because
the manager was asked you to leads the Wireless LAN design and implementation for an
organization. These wireless LAN network is designed and discussed in detail. The proposed
Wireless LAN solution is follows the organizational and regulatory security policies to provide
the high security for an organization. It is used to integrate the organization network by use
technology to access the any environmental considerations. The existing wireless LAN does not
provide the security for an organization. So, it needs to provide the security problem’s solution to

design and implement the wireless LAN by develop the firewall configuration on the existing
network. These are discussed and analyzed in detail.
