Re: [Aironet] Best Practice - Reauthentication

[Jim V. <jv...@ci...>]

I do not believe there is any ideal one size fits all answer to this questi=
on.
If a wireless device sporadically transmits and receives packets - i.e.
very low traffic - it would take a much longer amount of time for something
like airsnort to be able to grab the required amount of packets for an atta=
ck
on the wep key - compared to a bridge that is constantly trasmitting or rec=
eiving.

I do not know what our official recommended session timeout is - but I would
assume a suggested one would be short - but not to the point where all
the wireless traffic  is merely re-authentication packets...
