The current laboratory includes a general networking lab and a network securitylab. Eventually, we want to offer an enriched curriculum supported by an integrated networkenvironment where traditional telephone network, VOIP, data network and backbone fiber opticnetwork coexist with data, voice and video traffic. Our goal for the lab is to allow students to seean integrated telecommunication system, rather

thatthe first target of our vision was the need for updating and reconfiguring some spacewithin departmental facilities. The core electronics project lab was chosen to become thenew eStudio Laboratory, targeted for many improvements. The lab had been functioningadequately, but by the standards envisioned by the committee and the department, it wasquite lackluster. It had become a repository for equipment used quite infrequently, and averitable storage space for odds and ends that had been donated, cast off by industry,faculty, and other donors. Few were eager to discard or find a more permanent storagelocation for these cumbersome items, and only after the committee unveiled its vision forthe new space did the separation anxiety begin to

isto propose a solution to some of the issues enumerated above. As part of our ongoing effort toutilize virtualization technology to improve the learning experience of both face-to-face studentsand DE students, the authors present a viable design for a portable virtual network security lab.Virtual machine (VM) technology makes it possible to deliver lab-based courses with diversifiednetwork laboratory experiences at a minimal cost.In preparation for the virtual lab, two virtual machines were built by the instructor for studentuse. The students installed VMware Workstation on their personal computers and used it to openthe pre-built virtual machines. The two virtual machines (VM1 and VM2) form a private virtualnetwork, on which hands-on labs

roamingand mobility concepts to IT personnel, several experiments were conducted to establish theimpact the distribution system has on the 802.11 handoff process. These experiments were thenused to design course modules for upper classmen or graduate students, using Malik et al’smodel for wireless laboratory development.24 The course module focused on analyzing andgaining an understanding of 802.11 frames over mesh and WDS.Since there is an increase in demand for highly skilled IT personnel in the field of wirelessnetworking 1, it is important to fulfill the demand as early on as possible in the undergraduateprograms through improved hands-on exercises that heavily incorporate security practices.Students will be required to conduct framing analysis
