RE: Cisco WLC Stable code in 8.5 train
We have been running 8.5.161.0 for the last 30 days without incident. We are in the same situation as you with regards to the 3500/3600 models restricting us going any higher.

We can’t go past 8.5 because of presence of 3500 and 3600 model Aps which are not supported beyond code 8.5. What code you are running in 8.5 train and how satisfied you are with it? Is anyone running code 8.5.161.0 recommended by Cisco TAC? How stable is it? Have you encountered any major issues in your environment? Has anyone tried 8.5.16.4 (escalation code)?

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] Reasons for NOT upgrading to iOS 7?
There does seem to be an effective solution for resolving some of the speed complaints, especially lag on using the keyboard : Disable 'Documents and Data' in the iCloud settings and that fixes all keyboard problem http://news.softpedia.com/news/Guide-Fix-iOS-7-Keyboard-Lag-on-iPhone-4-385447.shtml From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU] On Behalf Of Robertson, Joshua Sent: 24 September 2013 14:56 To: WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU Subject: Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Reasons for NOT upgrading to iOS 7? I second Julian's opinion about speed on older devices as I too got stuck with a terribly slow iPhone 3G after the iOS 4 upgrade. I did, however, take the plunge on my 4S and so far speed has been good. I have heard some speed complaints from people with plain iPhone 4 though.

One of my editors noted there are stories online about the large percentage of upgrades to iOS 7 in a very short time; but he himself has NOT. He wondered about why others may be refusing or delaying the upgrade. I was curious about what, if anything, you folks are hearing about this, either through personal conversations (or even impressions) or possibly feedback from the Help Desk staff as they deal with endusers? Again, in keeping with Listserv rules, no one will be quoted/identified; at this point just trying to see if this is worth exploring. Thanks.

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] Cisco Wireless Interface Groups
Hi Vikki We have used interface groups for a while with great success on our WiSM2. We have a DHCP lease time of 20mins and we have an interface group that consist of 20 x /15 private IP subnets so that we have the IP capacity to cope.

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] Android OS 2.2
Hello Caroline We have seen the same thing with Android 2.2 on our campus, but this is just a reply to let you know you are not alone as we have no solution to share. We are seeing the same symptoms on devices, primarily on our WPA2/Enterprise network, including one 'rooted' device that was working on 2.1 and not working once upgraded to 2.2. It is an interesting point about running the AP on 802.11g only, as we are planning to remove 802.11b support soon and it will be interesting to see if this helps.

I've seen a lot of reports online about issues after upgrading to 2.2 from 2.1. We are just getting these new (We happen to have the X and the 2) and they are coming installed with 2.2 so I'm not sure what the performance would be at 2.1. The issue is that they may or may not connect at all and then, once connected, will drop and then not be able to connect again. They do seem to work better on an open security network, but we use WPA2/Enterprise here and they are unusable on our primary WLAN. Has anyone had any experiences with this or even (crossing my fingers here), a work around? I've gotten in touch with our Verizon rep but I don't know how much he'll be able to do if the problem is in the OS. I've seen some reports that setting your APs to G-only or putting the droids in Airplane mode (i know, i know - so you trade getting wifi with not getting phone calls - too funny!) will give you a stable connection but neither of those options are practical for us. thanks for any input!

RE: share 802.1x experience?
Hi Kay I don't know whether you are aware of 'eduroam' (http://www.eduroamus.org/eduroam_international_map), which is a shared authentication infrastructure in Higher Education? We used the introduction of the 'eduroam' SSID onto campus here in Leeds as a method of introducing 802.1x onto our Cisco WiSM architecture. I'll be quite happy to share information if you have Cisco kit.

RE: Internet Bandwidth Capacity and Management in general
Hello Bill We have a total of 6000 student rooms connecting to our core over a number of 1Gb leased lines. These feed into a Cisco 6509 which aggregates the data and connects to our firewall through a 10Gb connection. The traffic is passed through a Tipping Point device prior to being passed out of the firewall and into the internet on a single 1Gb connection. The Tipping Point is primarily used for P2P policing. Each user is limited to 4Mb down and 1Mb up, implemented through per-user microflow policing on the 6509. We have had a maximum of 732Mb being generated from the residences, with the daily average being 385Mb.

We currently have two 100Mb diverse Internet connections. We have about 3500 students in our campus residence village and another 500 at remote residences. The individual residences each have a 10Mb fiber back to the campus but that's a discussion for a different day. Most of the wired and wireless traffic from the on campus residence halls is directed to one of the 100Mb links while admin, faculty and some other small student population uses the other. We use Packeteer to rate limit and the two links are pretty much maxed out for a good part of the day and night. I'm curious at to what bandwidth some of the other universities have and also what type of management policies and techniques people are using. Thanks. Bill William F.
