Amigopod and Aruba

Simple secure management of external visitor access to your WLAN.

With the increasing number of external guests and visitors to a company network, per-user authentication and tracking is becoming a must to ensure security. Some companies have created a single shared visitor key or account, which is inherently insecure. Others have created individualized temporary accounts which require onerous management and consume limited resources. In either scenario, tracking and auditing is painful at best.

amigopod´s unified visitor management solutions provide customers with the most intuitive and flexible way to manage external visitors to an Aruba wireless network. Visitor accounts created and managed through the amigopod vma (visitor management appliance) are linked directly to security policies configured in the Aruba controller. This ensures that IT administrators are in control of the underlying security policy related to visitor network access, while non technical staff can easily and securely control the day-to-day administration of managing visitor accounts. The solution also provides powerful logging and reporting capabilities enabling companies to keep an audit trail of visitor network access.

WildPackets and Aruba

Leveraging the extensible nature of WildPackets' OmniAnalysis Platform, Aruba and WildPackets have worked together to develop an integrated solution that lets Aruba air monitors feed 802.11 packet captures directly into WildPackets' OmniPeek software, allowing network engineers to identify, quantify and analyze both common and out-of-the-ordinary wireless network issues. Using a single management interface, the Aruba RF Director, network engineers can quickly transition one or more APs from network mode to capture mode, eliminating the need travel to the trouble area, and eliminating the need for complex and expensive overlay sensor networks. Effective troubleshooting requires immediate access to packets, both at the wireless source and on the wired network segment. With this solution, packet captures can be started the instant a problem is reported, both at the wireless source and on the wired network segment, allowing network engineers to capture critical network data as the problem is occurring. Save time, save money, extend your reach.
