A few years ago there was a push to refer to our university as Liberty instead of LU Our major SSID names are:
Liberty-Guest – open --self registered & sponsored guest & event access Liberty-Wireless – open – 802.1X onboarding & mac auth for non-802.1X devices Liberty-Secure – WPA2 Enterprise PEAP MSCHAPv2 – Secure access for staff, students, & vendors. We will likely be moving to EAP-TLS at least for some devices. We have other SSIDs for special purposes or for some of our external related organizations. Self-registered guest access is bandwidth limited. Sponsored guest & event access is less limited. For events, we currently setup a time-limited guest account with a password. This functions much like a PSK but without the encryption.

I don’t get it, but maybe I am a little too close to it. We don’t have any residential on our campuses so have just two primary SSIDs in use on our campus (as well as eduRoam). One is named Public and is our onboarding/guest network. The other is our authenticated/secure network which we call MC3Waves and is for all students, staff, faculty and administrators, with 802.1x on the back end to steer the end user to the appropriate role. We have had these network around for as long as I can remember (15 years maybe). I am curious how others are naming and separating the SSIDs in their environment?
