RE: Disabling LEDs on APs
It seems like everyone has run into this in one way or another. We put AP's in the apartment style dorms and in the suite style dorms and had complaints about the lights. It was easy enough to turn them off. In a few locations, not dorms, that are normally dark like our theater or performing halls, we turned them of as well. The simple accommodation has not caused us any real issues. We had a few reports of "no wifi" when new students arrived, but those were easy to take care of.

Curious if others have gone down this road in Residence Halls. We're not really being asked to, but are considering wholesale disabling LEDs on our Cisco APs in the dorms as a quality of life step. Has this caused anyone any pain when it comes to not being able to see the colors on the AP as status indication? Have you actually had requests to disable the LEDs? Overall experience with accommodating or denying the request?

RE: One more round- finer point on Open Networks in Dorm
We use ISE on the wired and wired ports. We don't block or restrict access to any sites. We do rate limit users to 11mb (10mb in reality) to help with fair use. We just purchased new rate shapers that we may use to shape specific traffic at peak times, but we are not doing that yet. For housing, the ISE policy is simple and gives them full Internet access and that's about it.

Direct response off-list is OK if you prefer. Let me ask it two ways: * Who runs a wide-open WLAN in their dorms? I'm talking no encryption, no portal, no nothing. Just get on and go, baby. * Same question, but with simple PSK/WPA2 added. No ISE, no Clearpass, no MAC registrations. For those doing this, do you rate-limit? Restrict access only to Internet? Block WLAN clients from directly reaching each other? Any other restrictions/policy configs applied?

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] Mac Pop UP Error
We don’t have TKIP on for our WPA2-Enterprise settings in the controllers, but on the WPA it is set as being on. We will turn this off as soon as we can verify it wont cause issues. Not sure if that is the root of our issue or not. Thanks for the suggestions.

Mac Pop UP Error
Has anyone else seen the pop up message on Mac computers connected to their wireless that says “The wireless network appears to have been compromised and will be disabled for about a minute.”? We recently rolled out ISE and now every wireless issue is related to the rollout. We are using WPA2-Enterprise on the authenticated SSID, but from what I have seen, this is not wireless vendor specific and can happen on pretty much any type of wireless network from home to enterprise.

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] Parents sue school, say Wi-Fi signal making son sick.
Yes, it sets a precedent that you are going to meet the students’ needs and protect the university. If the parents and the students think it’s an issue, why try and force the matter when it is easy enough to move the AP and let them plug into the network through a port in the room. If they ask for the wireless on the entire campus to be turned off or in all of the classrooms the student is in, then it’s a different story. While this is not an ADA issue, the ADA laws talk of “reasonable accommodation”. I would be hard pressed to believe this request was not reasonable. Ridiculous yes, but still very reasonable.
