hello..i have a lot of questions regarding the access point (AP)...below are the list of some checklist that i found in order to be taken into consideration in the wireless technology..i juz want to know how those checklist can be implemented and what kind of software could be used to do that..thanx for ur help..

i) Perform comprehensive security assessments at regular intervals (including
validating that rogue APs do not exist in the 802.11 WLAN) to fully understand
the wireless network security posture

ii) Deploy physical access controls to the building and other secure areas (e.g., photo ID, card badge readers).

iii) Complete a site survey to measure and establish the AP coverage for the Organization

iv) Take a complete inventory of all APs and 802.11 wireless devices.

v) Empirically test AP range boundaries to determine the precise extent of the wireless coverage

vi) Ensure AP channels are at least five channels different from any other nearby wireless networks to prevent interference.

vii) Locate APs on the interior of buildings versus near exterior walls and windows.

viii) Place APs in secured areas to prevent unauthorized physical access and user manipulation.

viv) Make sure that APs are turned off during all hours during they are not used.

x) Make sure the reset function on APs is being used only when needed and is only invoked by an authorized group of people.

xi) Restore the APs to the latest security settings when the reset functions are used.

xii) Change the default SSID in the APs.

xiii) Disable the “broadcast SSID” feature so that the client SSID must match that of
the AP.

xiv) Disable the broadcast beacon of the APs.

xv) Disable all insecure and nonessential management protocols on the APs.

xvi) Install a properly configured firewall between the wired infrastructure and the wireless network (AP or hub to APs).

xvii) Consider installation of Layer 2 switches in lieu of hubs for AP connectivity.

xviii) Ensure all APs have strong administrative passwords.

xviv) Enable user authentication mechanisms for the management interfaces of the AP.

xx) Ensure management traffic destined for APs is on a dedicated wired subnet.

xxi) Make sure adequately robust community strings are used for SNMP management traffic on the APs.

xxii) Configure SNMP settings on APs for least privilege (i.e., read only). Disable SNMP if it is not used.

xxiii) Enhance AP management traffic security by using SNMPv3 or equivalent cryptographically protected protocol.

xxiv) Use a local serial port interface for AP configuration to minimize the exposure of sensitive management information.
