Very timely. I am about to launch a project called "public port security and guest access" that will attempt to define exactly this. I would like to hear all other responses as well. (I suggest if you are considering Wireless guests, you should be considering wired as well)
* Currently we have NO guest access on wireless. * We recently changed all our "public lab" computers to use AD authentication (e.g. no more public/guest access) * We use CCA in reshalls and enable the guest button JUST FOR THE SUMMER (for all the conferences/camps we have during that time) so effectively no guest access except for summer * The ONLY real guest access we have right now is any network port in a publicly accessible location can be used by anyone without any type of check. (These are the "public ports" referred to in my project title above). INCLUDING if someone unplugs a lab/office/kiosk computer and plugs in their own. * We will attempt to balance the tremendous desire for wireless & wired guest access, CALEA, security and manageability. I am thinking we may wind up with a 1x solution to determine appropriate port settings (security/vlan/etc) based on recognition of user, computer, or both and then computer health for non-campus managed computers. _________________________ Thank you, Gregory R.

Anybody rethinking any of their sponsored guest/open access policies because of CALEA concerns?
