This research presents the wireless university campus network and discusses about the strengths and weaknesses of Design a secure wireless campus networks for ABC University in Libya, and about the costs and advantages of different vendor solutions. Wireless offers mobility and is available in locations where a wired outlet doesn't exist. The disadvantages of wireless include some minor interference problems and a quickly evolving and competitive group of standards. The purpose of the research is designing and implementing a secure campus network for Libyan university based on Cisco equipments. Moreover, the research can provide practical experience in network design, configuration, and security for helping organizations and institutions protect their network resources and data. Two end products or deliverables will result from the research: the first is a new architectural design for an efficient and advanced WLAN-friendly network to ensure the high performance of the data transaction process and ensure high availability of data transmissions. The second product is a report for network administrators or network architecture to guide users towards the achievement of WLAN-friendly by utilising advanced networking tools and technologies.....................
