We’ve got a pure open SSID – but with a captive portal AUP acceptance page.  
Keeps some of the devices off that either don’t have a browser or can’t click 
on “Accept”.  It ends up in our visitor VRF, which we treat devices as if they 
are at Starbucks, etc., so cannot reach private devices (storage, etc.), but 
can reach publically available resources (email, etc.).  For the most part, it 
works pretty well – but we have folks who want to connect game consoles, TV 
streaming devices, etc. to it.  If a user wants to join that instead of the 
802.1X wireless network, that’s fine too, for basic internet access, they just 
won’t be able to get to some resources on campus.

This is without MAC auth. Pure open, piloted market leading MAC auth solutions 
and fingerprinting was less than impressive. 

 

This is an experiment.

We just block some things like our web site & course system that would not be 
used by those devices anyway. This “encourages” people to use the secure 802.1X 
network.

Open network, brother. We're about to test the good and bad of it in production 
for non-smart resnet devices.

Bruce,

 

It was a consultant that recommended it, but for gaming/non-802.1x capable 
devices.  I may have stated it incorrectly.

 

Our problem is that we have more and more devices that are non-standard 
Windows/Mac OS so the certificate don’t work.  Most are Engineering/IT students 
and it’s an uphill battle for us.

 

We’re currently looking at Apogee to take over our Dorm wired/wireless network, 
but we can do the same thing with our own equipment.  The question we’re asking 
ourselves is..do we want to create an open network in the dorms, firewall them 
from everything unless they’re using secure wireless, or continue to fight the 
certificate issues.  

 

We have a homegrown registration system, but we’re quickly outgrowing it and 
need to move to something that’s all encompassing.  We used ACS a few years 
ago, but our CIO (at the time) wanted to move to all open source and that’s 
caused more headaches than anything.

 

I do have a conference call with Cisco deployment on Wednesday, but just wanted 
to get a feel how others in our field like the product, and what real world 
issues you’ve had.   Unfortunately, we don’t get that kind of feedback from the 
manufacturer.

 

I appreciate all the e-mails and responses!

 

Shayne

I am surprised ( and appalled) that Cisco would recommend *WPA2-Personal* (aka 
WPA2-PSK) in an Enterprise environment. We are currently using PEAP-MSCHAPv2 
with our WPAs-Enterprise (aka 802.1X) wireless network. 

 

For self-registration on devices that cannot use 802.1X, we are using a custom 
portal with the ClearPass APIs. We are currently using an open network for mac 
authentication. We block our website & Blackboard system to “encourage” users 
to use our secure network for laptops instead of registering for mac auth. 

 

​​​​​We are considering moving to using certs with ClearPass Onbiard, but have 
not yet imp;lemented. We are currently using CloudPath Wizard for onboarding 
802.1X devices.

Good morning,

 

Currently we have a home grown wireless registration system in place that is 
becoming obsolete.  We are getting ready to refresh our Cisco AP’s, and I’m 
writing to see if anyone has any positive/negative issues in using Cisco ISE 
for individual “self” registration on your wireless network.

 

We also use WPA2/AES Certificate based security, but that is problematic 
because of compatibility issues and devices that have no way of accepting 
certs.   In talking with some Cisco Wireless Engineers, they recommend 
WPA2/AES-PSK but we don’t have the manpower to set that up on every device.   
We also do not NAT any devices.

 

If you have any suggestions, or comments on using ISE and moving away from 
Certs, I would greatly appreciate them.

 

Thanks

Shayne
