http://www.meraki.com/ Ephesians 4:32 & Cheers!!! From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Constituent Group Listserv [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Bob Williamson Sent: Thursday, January 19, 2012 10:28 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] SSIDs, devices and guests We are a small(ish) boarding school (K-12) with around 100 boarders. We are located in a residential neighborhood with a lot of homes very close to the school. Management wants an SSID for guests which does not require a password. My corporate reaction is "that is crazy". My secondary/new to academia reaction is "why not". If the guests network is completely separated from the internal network, severely limited in bandwidth, web filtered, protocol/applications blocked etc. Who cares? The only potential issue I could see is web filtering can't stop everything. Then there is the whole question of how to handle "personal devices" for staff and students. Any thought on that would be appreciated as well. Thinking of hidden SSID (simply to make it less confusing for users) with MAC address limiting and DPSK (via Ruckus). Thank you for any suggestions. I am finding the transition from a corporate environment to academic, especially with boarding students, to be quite interesting to say the least, Bob Williamson Network Administrator Annie Wright Schools | 827 N Tacoma Ave, Tacoma, WA 98403 | www.aw.org D: +1.253.284.5465 | F: +1.253.572.3616 | [email protected] Annie Wright's strong community cultivates individual learners to become well-educated, creative, and responsible citizens for a global society. <http://www.aw.org/> Description: AWS Seal 2 <http://www.facebook.com/AnneWrighSchool> Description: Facebook <http://twitter.com/#!/AnnieWright1884> Description: Twitter ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/.
