1: Misconfigured clients. Same as it ever was - if we didn't have users on the network, life would be so much simpler. 2. Poor receptivity of clients (can anyone say titanium-shelled Macs!) 3. Intermittent connectivity. RF is dyanmic. Deal with it. > > 2. Which specific available tools -- commercial or otherwise > -- are most helpful in allowing you to do your job? 1. Airwave Monitoring Platform (AMP.) Even with an all-Cisco infrastructure, this is hands-down the best tool we have for keeping tabs on what's up in our network. 2. Airmagnet Sniffer. Sooo nice to be able to see everthing at once. Wish it had better depth on decodes, tho. 3. The Cisco ADU - a very well designed client interface and really handy for basic troubleshooting in our environment, see above. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/.
