eduroam Requests Not Received at Border Firewall

Hi Guys, I have an issue when I send requests via the eduroam website realm test tool (eapol_test) and for some of them I get a "No response" or "Timeout" result, and other times a success without changing the client configuration parameters. Doing a tcpdump at my server and matching up

We run a large Aurba shop at liberty, and have been running an all wireless solution in our dorms for some time now which were very happy with. With that said every dorm environment is different, gathering requirements, predictive planning, and design are key especially when dealing with

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Clearpass Bug - Posture and Profile Data update

Bit us at 2:38 AM, took until 5 AM before I got called. By the time I got to it the necessary correct update was in place so the policy server restart got us on the air again. Pretty tempted to block CP access to the CP update site so that we can open it up at times more convenient for us.

First, get the APs out of the hallways and locate them where the users are. APs in hallways can hear each other better than they casn hear clients. Second, work with your Aruba account team to optimize your RF environment for the different building structures. We have based our RF adjustments

Our Aruba SE alerted us but we are running 6.6.5. Out servers already had the fixed version anyway. For RADIUS monitoring we use Nagios and monitor twice. One services uses an Active Directory service account, and a second one uses a ClearPass local user account. Aruba recommends this to

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Best Wireless Solution for Residence Hall Rooms

I like the one wall rule Joel. That's a great way to state it and I never though to express it that way. We still have AP's in hallways in some locations but they are not penetrating multiple walls before it gets to the user. We also have the one per suite issue with old construction. Jacob

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Best Wireless Solution for Residence Hall Rooms

My experience is you can get good signal propagation without complaints going through one wall, but not often more. We go every other room in a checkboard pattern for traditional rooms, also using (formerly Motorola=>Zebra) Extreme AP7502's, which I love (it's nice to finally see someone else here

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] Best Wireless Solution for Residence Hall Rooms

We tried the Xirrus in the hallway approach with some of our Residences a long time ago and got burned by it. Even with their multiple sector AP’s that Xirrus has with their higher-end products that have directional gain, they still didn’t penetrate enough into the rooms to provide adequate

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] Best Wireless Solution for Residence Hall Rooms

Sorry, I was mostly complaining about the one-per-room that vendors have been trying to push. If they really will cover multiple rooms, that’s a different option. Thomas Carter Network & Operations Manager / IT Austin College 900 North Grand Avenue Sherman, TX 75090 Phone: 903-813-2564

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Best Wireless Solution for Residence Hall Rooms

I have found with Cisco’s 1810Ws that we can get more than one room. Obviously, this depends greatly on building construction, but we can typically get at least 3 rooms covered with one Access Point. It’s really not that much more than deploying the larger APs. I am looking at between 2-3x

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] Best Wireless Solution for Residence Hall Rooms

I’ve complained to vendors about this before, but the problem is the one-per-room deployment can be 2-4x the cost of in-hall deployment. At smaller schools like ours, nebulous future support hours saved won’t make up for current costs now. The biggest issue is an in-hall AP that supports 4-6

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] Best Wireless Solution for Residence Hall Rooms

We started with an all wireless residence halls concept three years ago and will finish the last three (fairly small) installs next summer. We went with in-room access points supplemented with APs in common areas. For traditional residence halls we went with Cisco 702w initially changing to

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Best Wireless Solution for Residence Hall Rooms

Move to in-room design even if the cost seems problematic. Vendors have never recommended in-hallway as a solution (well, maybe with the exception of xirrus because of their technology), and all the magic sauce works best when WAPs are deployed properly. While a WAP in every-room isn’t a

Unfortunately, we were hit by the same bug as Chad and possibly a few others on the list. It looks like the problem affects Clearpass customers running 6.6.7+. We struggled to find a fix early this morning and finally got services up around 7:15 am pacific time once we identified the issue.

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Best Wireless Solution for Residence Hall Rooms

A few years ago we transitioned from in-hall APs to 1 or 2 in every suite or 1 for every 2 dorm rooms. Complaints went way down. We based the decision on RSSI values and that most students were bringing newer hardware that supported 5 GHz. Much of our roll-out occurred by updating classroom and

We went with Cisco 1810w’s in every room over the summer. The number of calls and incidents have dropped dramatically. The dense deployment has permitted us to disable a lot of 2.4, and the 1810w’s permit us to save switch ports in the closet. We also went with Cisco 3802/2802i’s in the
