Lab 6 of 6: Wireless Security
During Week 2, you should have completed iLab 2 of 6: Best Practices for Securing a Wireless Network in a
SOHO—The Policy Statement, Processes, and Procedures Guidelines. In this lab, you will explore, select,
and justify the selection of a secure wireless network for that (iLab 2) SOHO environment. You shall actually
identify the hardware and software needed to support the network security policies and user requirements.
The reason for this lab is to allow you to experience the wireless network technology selection process while
working with a typical set of requirements and the current industry offerings.
Basic Wireless Network Requirements and Assumptions
Consult your iLab 2 of 6: Best Practices for Securing a Wireless Network in a SOHO—The Policy
Statement, Processes, and Procedures Guidelines for a foundation to your design requirements.
Create your own user requirements that are reasonable and typical for a SOHO.
Note: If you did not complete iLab 2, then request a policy statement from your instructor as soon as
possible. You may also use policy statements that you find in iLab 2’s resource.

iLAB OVERVIEW
Scenario/Summary
Deliverables
Each section will vary in size based on the requirements. Drive yourself to create a useful document for the
direction you have selected.
Lab Document Framework
Requirements and Policies of the Secure Wireless Network:
State the requirements and general
security policies that will drive your design of a secure wireless network at the SOHO. It should be
about 5–10 sentences or bullet points.
Secure Wireless Network Solution Overview:
Outline the technical functionality and customer
requirements of your secure wireless network. Tell us what the design can do. Include any special
conditions, limitations, or exceptions that exist. It should be about 5–10 sentences or bullet points.
Secure Wireless Network Design Illustration:
Using a graphic illustration tool, such as Visio,
document the logical design of your secure wireless network design. It should be about two pages.
Citations and Resources Used in This Report:
Tell us where you received external guidance and
ideas. If you have presented original ideas, give yourself credit, and tell us why you believe it is
correct.
Delivering Your Lab Document
Organize your materials into a single document or multiple documents. Name your document(s) such that
the course ID, your full name, and this lab’s name are referenced. For example, include
SEC572_FirstName_LastName_Lab6 in the file’s name. The text of your document must be readable with
Microsoft Word 2007 (or prior) or a standard PDF file viewer. The graphic illustrations must be readable with
common tools, such as Visio, a browser, Adobe’s reader, or Microsoft Paint. See the student software store
if you need to install Visio.

resources). This is likely to be a combination of vendor products and services. An example is provided in the
textbook and in the URLs below.
Outline the technical functionality of your secure wireless network. Indicate what the secure wireless
network can do, with respect to the policy statement and your requirements.
Step 2
