Hi John-

Wondering why you chose dedicated APs for the open network, versus an
open SSID on all APs?

Southwestern University transitioned from open authentication to
802.1x
in Aug of 2005.

A big step in the conversion was to leave several APs, distributed
across
campus, in open authentication mode.  We found this useful for
students
who needed to access our knowledge base prior to 802.1x configuration,
for
parents needing to connect (and did not have a username/password) and
for users not running an up-to-date version of windows (supporting
PEAP).

These open APs run on a restricted network, preventing harm from our
internal network, and restricted from conducting common attacks
on the Internet.

Sincerely,
