Question of the month Question of the month

Uppingham Ultimate University (UUU) needs to install a video on demand training system for its students. Most students use the wireless LAN for connectivity, and there are currently 150 wireless LAN users and ten 802.11b-compliant access points. UUU has realized it needs a solid security approach and has chosen to segment wireless users from the network backbone using the old Internet firewall appliance that they recently replaced with a newer model. The old firewall appliance can support up to 10 Mbps of encrypted traffic and can only perform filtering functions. The new firewall can support up to 30 Mbps while performing both filtering and VPN functions. As a consultant hired by UUU, you recommend which of the following security approaches?

a. Do not use the old firewall appliance. Replace it with a small filtering router capable of the same throughput in order to add QoS features
b. Do not use the old firewall appliance. Replace it with an EWG with rate-limiting features
c. Use the old firewall, but filter to only allow IPSec connections through it
d. Do not use the old firewall appliance, but rather use a DMZ segment of the new firewall instead Find the answer below.

Question of the month Answer
The old firewall will not support VPN functions, QoS, or enough throughput for the total number of users. The new firewall will not support QoS or enough throughput. The router would support QoS, but would not handle the throughput or VPN functions. The EWG with rate limiting would likely handle all three functions well. ww.dogtech.com/hosting.asp">Tampa Web Hosting and Florida Web Design This site hosted curtosy of Psend.com's Free Web Hosting.
