Considering the fact that Meru might not want to support deauth through SNMP 
I'd like to see if we can do something.  When you configure a switch to use ssh 
(haven't tested telnet but I am guessing it uses the same parameters) that it 
spawns a new SSH session with the switch (in our case it's a Meru Controller) 
for every time someone registers to deauth the wireless client.

Considering we have 41,000+ wireless registered devices and about 5k 
simultaneous users on the network, this is going to crash the Meru controller 
no doubt.

What I want to do is tweak the process that PF is using to ssh into the 
switches and see if it's possible to maintain one session open and feed it the 
parameters it needs to deauth clients from the controller.  Any input on how PF 
is configured to do this and where to look would be awesome, I think some users 
might benefit from this.  What do you guys think?  Any other suggestions that 
don't depend on the vendor?
