Radius Server Design for Hotspot Management at SMK Negeri 1 Pogalan Trenggalek

Abstract

The development of information technology now makes it easier for humans to complete work. To meet the communication needs of SMK 1 Pogalan, one of them uses wireless networks. Where users who want to use network services with wireless transmission media simply enter a shared key to be able to directly use all resources on the network it makes wireless security vulnerable because it only uses one layer of security, in addition all service users do not yet have centrally controlled settings real time. Authentication, authorizing and accounting (AAA) is a mechanism for verifying user data relating to users and passwords granting access rights to verified users and recording user activities related to data flow through the system. This mechanism is available in the radius protocol that was specifically built to provide these services. Collaboration of the radius server and hotspot service on a proxy router that supports the AAA protocol is expected to improve network security better than before. By testing, monitoring and analysis using the PPDIOO method. From the results of tests conducted using the external radius server can increase the security of wireless networks, user settings, and can monitor network usage in real time making it easier for administrators to manage the network.
