Addressing Wireless Remote Access Design Considerations

Wireless networks are fast becoming one of the most common network types. Although they are not cost-effective or efficient as a replacement for wired networking, wireless networks are a great choice for temporary networks, networking in areas where networking is normally difficult, or offering wireless access to customers or employees with portable computers.

Windows Server 2003’s RRAS server can be used to manage wireless connections to the network. If you will be allowing wireless access, you will need to do the following:



• Configure remote access policies
• Determine whether to use IAS for authentication
• Configure the WAPs

I will touch on the topics deeply tomorrow.
