Good Morning Big changes from last year, we moved to Aruba We braced for the onslaught ☺ armed with
* 7210 Master Controller * 2 7240’s for Local controllers (handling the traffic) * Airwave for monitoring * Clearpass for Authentication (HA active pair) * We have 3 networks o 802.1x o Guest o Misc-Device – IOT, TV, Apple TV, Chromecast etc -and coffee pots…cannot forget the coffee pots So far, as we just finished installing the 1200 aps’, we are ~800 303h’s (1 in each dorm room) and ~500 325 Ap’s. To make things more interesting, we also upgraded our core from 1 gb to pure 10gb and changed our Firewall to the Cisco FTD platform. So we truly have no benchmarking from last year but a lot of expectations! LOL So far, the students are connecting quickly, successfully and getting to their movies online. Which I call success!

No observed problems yet, but our first-years just arrived and returning student are due soon. Interesting stats: #1 - 70% of devices are Apple, 90% of traffic. On the 1st day our 330 first-years arrived they did over 12TB of traffic.

It might be beneficial to share notes in case other schools are hitting common problems. I’m wondering how everyone who is in the thick of it is faring with back-to-school?
