Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Very high number of wireless devices returning from break

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] KeyNote Remote on Cisco LWAPP

I can see only two other options... 1. You get or force , if possible, both devices on the same vlan/network broadcast domain. 2. Setup an adhoc network for the task. Ken Connell Intermediate Network Engineer Computer & Communication Services Ryerson University 350 Victoria St RM AB50 To

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] shared lab devices using enterprise WPA2

We have 2 wireless labs, and went the route of just having a WPA2/PSK SSID for them and drop those users on his own managed vlan/subnet. The admin who looks after the lab PCs does not give out the key to anyonewell at least we hope so...its in his best interest not to because it will eat in

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Wireless design

We keep our APs on separate vlan/ip space and users on subnets that are "wireless traffic" only. If there are issues with a particular user I know from ip address right away if they are wired or wireless. Plus having the wired and wireless users share the same IP space allows them to "poke aro

option 43 for finding master controller

Is any one using this on a per-scope basis with an ISC DHCP server ? We're an Aruba shop an currently find our masters via dns, but are also exploring giving the master controller address via DHCP option 43. We currently have this working on a limited basis and have it defined in a particular

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Mount hidden or in plain view in dorms?

We mount all APs below the ceiling and have only had only 1 stolen and 1 vandalized over the past 5 years. I find it much easier to trouble shoot when u can actually see the unit and the pretty lights (the "tunnel up" light on Aruba APs especially), its a real pain to have to carry a ladder aro

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] WiFi blockers in classrooms

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] DHCP lease times?

We started with 3 hour lease times, had pool issues, then tweaked a few times and ended up at 20min lease times. We've been running like that for over a year now. You may have to experiment a bit to find what lease time works best for your network Our controllers (Aruba) are set to flush de

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] wireless DHCP lease time

We had similar issues, and have found a happy middle with 40 min max lease time with our controllers (Aruba) having a user timeout of 38 min. Ken Connell Intermediate Network Engineer Computer & Communication Services Ryerson University 350 Victoria St RM AB50 Toronto, Ont M5B 2K3 416-979-5000 x

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Single Channel vs Multi-Channel Architecture

I don't have much experience with a single channel deployment, but without even getting into vendor preferences or specifics I can't see how a single channel can gain any perfomance in such an unpreditctable and dynamically changing environment as far as other devices, and wireless networks that

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] blocking specific ports or protocols

We retrict guest, but our staff/students/faculty are pretty much wide open other than some acl's to drop traffic to certain nets. We too are evaluating this and will be making changes to be a bit more restrictive, but haven't made any final decisions yet. Ken Connell Intermediate Network Engin

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] ARuba VLAN pooling

Assuming you you have multiple client side vlans already configured on your controller, you assign those vlans to the vap (currently your only specifying one vlan, just comma seperate and add another ). Now when a user associates, there is hash done on the client mac address and they are placed

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Big Aruba Environments- Management of multiplecontrollers

We did a trial on both... For us the MMS was unreliable and some of the tools (like finding users) just didn't work. We were constantly rebooting and tweaking, but I must note we had the software version not the appliance. The airwave product for us was great with stats, finding users and what

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Big Aruba Environments- Management of multiplecontrollers

We did an Airwave trial (monitor only - 8 controllers), the function to config your controller just isn't there yet, but for stats it's great. We still just use the gui on the master and are happy with that...configs don't change much, so it's not something that has to be to slick and most t

There is a "gotcha" with the Aruba 5000/6000 chasis we hit regarding PoE You have to have the 400watt power supply's (there's a 200watt model) or the PoE won't work. Ken Connell Intermediate Network Engineer Computer & Communication Services Ryerson University 350 Victoria St RM AB50 Toronto
