This is a neat thread. Thanks everyone for sharing Our 4 main WiSM2 controllers are running 8.0.141.0 as most residence halls still run on 1252s.
New for us this semester - pair of HA 8540's running 8.4.100.0 - Only thing running on them right now is one full dorm with 1810Ws in each of the rooms and 3 3802s - New branded SSID with SSO (AD) 802.1X and a dedicated SSID for guests that's web-auth'd and throttled in addition to certificate-based eduroam - 1810W wired ports are SSO 802.1X authenticated. We run 2Gbps dedicated transit peerings at each of our main campuses plus redundant 10Gbps circuits into two west coast internet exchanges for peerings with other entities. Our first-year students moved in Wednesday, but we haven't seen the peak of traffic yet, just an ever so slight bump. Which is different for us because usually the first thing we see a lot of on day one is a huge load of game and file downloads. But that said, all of our other dorms open today--about 90 minutes from now, actually--so we are still looking forward to the traffic boom. http://weathermap.sw.alaska.edu Britton Anderson <blanders...@alaska.edu> | Lead Network Communications Specialist | University of Alaska <http://www.alaska.edu/oit> | 907.450.8250 On Fri, Aug 25, 2017 at 9:43 AM, Davis, Kevin <keda...@davidson.edu> wrote: > Thanks for the thread all, this is helpful. > > Interesting to hear of declines in clients/bandwidth in some cases.
