I need to set up TACACS for wireless using CiscoSecure ACS v.2.3. &nbsp;Is this possible? &nbsp;I keep seeing guides for 3.0 and above but not 2.3. &nbsp;It's about $4000.00 for an upgrade for the ACS. &nbsp;Also, I could use Radius on Windows 2000 but I'm not sure if the clients need to be 2000 or above. &nbsp;Some of mine are actually Win98. &nbsp;This is a fairly large change as we have about 38 of these units around the country that will be authenticating here. &nbsp;Any help you can give will be much appreciated. <br />
<br />
My superiors want to use MAC and user authentication. &nbsp;I dont care for the MAC but... &nbsp;some of our wireless units are forklifts and maynot be able to be given usernames (I still have to check into that).

Security is the protection of information systems from theft or damage to the hardware, the software, and the information on them, as well as from disruption or misdirection of the services they provide. The main goal of security is protecting assets, and an asset is anything of value and worthy of protection.  Information Security is a discipline of protecting information assets from threats through safeguards to achieve the objectives of confidentiality, integrity, and availability or CIA for short. On the other hand, disclosure, alteration, and disruption (DAD) compromise the security objectives.

Security

Internet Protocol Security (IPsec) is a protocol suite for secure Internet Protocol (IP) communications by authenticating and encrypting each IP packet of a communication session. IPsec includes protocols for establishing mutual authentication between agents at the beginning of the session and negotiation of cryptographic keys to be used during the session. IPsec can be used in protecting data flows between a pair of hosts (host-to-host), between a pair of security gateways (network-to-network), or between a security gateway and a host (network-to-host). IPsec is an end-to-end security scheme operating in the Internet Layer of the Internet Protocol Suite.
