Network inventory scan

To secure the wireless network, we'll use 802.1x and the related Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol (PEAP), which are the wireless networking industry's initial solution to the Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) standard's security problems, and network inventory scan. WEP's main vulnerabilities are poor encryption key handling and a lack of per-user authentication and authorization. The 802.1x standard addresses these problems by implementing better key-management methods and leveraging Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service (RADIUS) servers for authentication, accounting, and authorization.
