Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Poll - Campus Open Guest Wireless

[Jess Walczak]

We have an open SSID that has a click to continue AUP (served from a portal
function in Cisco ISE), and then then you're good to go.  That lasts until
midnight and then resets.  We initially thought about capturing data about
people, but if you're not validating that data then you cannot trust it.
The only reason we even have a click to continue AUP is so that we don't
have a bunch of passers by joining unwittingly, but we do profile and
exempt whatever ISE identifies as Xboxes, Playstations, etc, and lets these
devices on the open network without having to click to continue (the
assumption is that they have no keyboard, etc, but they usually still have
to tell the device which wifi network to join).  We also have a portal
which you can login to and self-register the wifi MACs of whatever device
you want to join the open network.  The nightly expiration on the open
network is also just annoying enough each day to push folks to sign into
the 802.1X SSID to avoid the nagging disconnect overnight.  We generally
have about 3:1 or 4:1 ratio of 802.1X clients to open clients.

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Poll - Campus Open Guest Wireless

[Tony Skalski]

We went from self-registration to captive portal (click to accept AUP), and
a year and a half ago to an open guest wifi with no captive portal and no
registration. We and our customers couldn't be happier with it (and we're
not worried about how much it is used).

Poll - Campus Open Guest Wireless

[Christopher H Ressel]

Hi all,

We are actively looking at pursuing an open guest wireless solution where all 
guests are required to do for access it to accept terms of use via a captive 
portal (no self-registration). I was hoping to get an idea (general head count) 
of how many of you are out there to give us an idea of how prevalent this is 
amongst similar institutions. If you do in fact have a similar open guest setup 
how has your experience been thus far?

Spectrum Analyzer and NetScout OneTouch

[Sullivan, Don]

I was wondering if there was anyone on the list who is currently using or has 
used a NetScout OneTouch AT tester and NetScout Spectrum XT USB based analyzer 
that would be willing to have an offline conversation about their experience 
with these products. We are evaluating them but we would like to chat over the 
phone with someone who has some real-life experience using them. Thanks.

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] WLC Mobility Groups

[Jeffrey D. Sessler]

As far as I know, mobility scales with the controllers, and the limit is 24 
controllers in the same mobility group. With a mobility list (bundle of 
different mobility groups) you can have up to 72 members. 24 8540's would get 
you 144,000 WAPs in a single mobility group.
