Lee, that's not funny. We bought a bunch of 3500 model APs and NONE of them came with the blue laser beams. I like the comment on that video criticizing Cisco for making a video "better suited for showing to an 8 year old Star Wars fan". The commenter clearly has no idea who IT people really are.
We have not turned on the offensive mitigation features yet but I'm finding the Cisco system in passive mode is adjusting to a lot of interfering devices pretty well. I can see that the mobile hotspots plus the printers with wifi interfaces are going to be an ongoing struggle. As to the original question, are these devices brought in by students or employees, or both? -- Ron Parker, Director of Information Technology, Brazosport College Voice: (979) 230-3480 FAX: (979) 230-3111 http://www.brazosport.edu This e-mail contains 100% recycled electrons generated by nuclear power.

People bring in devices and never authenticate or register their wireless interfaces on them. While we hand out sandboxed IPs so they can register, the lease expire after only 5 minutes. So, our DHCP servers are inundated with DHCPREQUESTS and the APs are wasting resources and air time sending these packets.
