Yes. We have a satellite school at UNC Asheville. Up until recently, UNC Asheville was not running eduroam, and UNC Chapel Hill was the only occupant of a couple of buildings on campus. UNC Asheville adopted eduroam and wanted to move into adjoining spaces. So we were going to have the situation where UNC Chapel Hill folks might attach to the wrong institution’s eduroam and vice versa. We ended up bridging the two networks together through a single link, and based on realm, UNC Asheville will terminate UNC Chapel Hill folks directly to our network (through trunked vlans). It is nice, because now anywhere on UNC Asheville campus, UNC Chapel Hill folks have UNC Chapel Hill IP space. Because it made sense, we actually turned off our access points and allowed UNC Asheville to provide wireless in our areas (so we wouldn’t have competing wireless).

The other school is wanting to join eduroam so my issue is when we are both broadcasting the same ssid in possibly the same airspace. I have a felling this is going to cause many problems as clients could bounce back and forth between systems. If you had to deal with this I like to hear your thoughts on it. -- Thanks, Jason Becker Network Systems Engineer Washington University in St. Louis jbec...@wustl.edu<mailto:jbec...@wustl.edu> 314-935-5006 ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/<https://na01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3a%2f%2fwww.educause.edu%2fgroups%2f&data=01%7c01%7crhturner%40email.unc.edu%7ccb70500b292d4427293208d39661db4b%7c58b3d54f16c942d3af081fcabd095666%7c1&sdata=qGNRUEHsNMv7sMBIsc4xSekkNTdOESCI%2fPCz87RzRZY%3d>. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/.
