Just opened or up this weekend. I am going to do the best I can to stop users from doing illegal stuff. We are MUCH smaller than most on this list (300 students K-12, 100 female boarding students, 100 staff, all girls past 8th grade).
Closing ports, filtering websites, application level filtering (layer 2) etc. · It is an all-girls school past 8th grade which makes it easier. · Filtering on the “guest” SSID will be more stringent than the internal. · Very granular port filtering. · Application signature blocking (in my case Watchguard). · Web filtering via Watchguard. · Throttle that SSID at the wireless and/or firewall. · Weekly reports/reviews. Can’t stop everything, but … 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.

We have a completely open guest network, and have not had any issues. At all. There are numerous homes adjacent to campus, in most cases just across a narrow street from the access points. I think what you'll find is that no one uses bandwidth like your students use bandwidth. These kids live and breath online. The family or two who may try to leech your bandwidth will still be nearer the edge of the range and won't get as much as they'd like, with the result that this is a drop in the bucket next to what your students use on a regular basis.

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]<mailto:[email protected]> Annie Wright's strong community cultivates individual learners to become well-educated, creative, and responsible citizens for a global society. <image001.png><http://www.aw.org/> <image002.png><http://www.facebook.com/AnneWrighSchool> <image003.png><http://twitter.com/#!/AnnieWright1884> ********** 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/. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/.
