RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] Eduroam rollout- one more time

So for it's been a one time setup for us. I would guess including testing it 
took about 16 hours.

 I don't want to hijack this discussion, and I'll apologize now for it, but I 
 do have an eduroam question.  How
 resource intensive is it to implement and maintain an eduroam deployment?  We 
 are a smaller institution, but we've
 had a handful of requests from faculty members to adopt eduroam.  There is 
 some hesitation because we don't want to
 invest a whole lot of time to maintain a service that may get used by 2 or 3 
 people per semester.

Hello,

We're quite a small institution (fewer than 400 residential students) and we're 
very happy with the value/effort ratio
eduroam gives us.  We also only have a very few folks traveling to other 
eduroam campuses, but those few have been
very appreciative of the service when they connect somewhere else without any 
trouble/reconfiguration.  It was a
little bit of extra work for some of our technical folks to succeed at our 
testing  deployment but very much a
pleasant challenge that I think we all enjoyed (very little frustration as 
compared to other projects we've undertaken).

As far as hijacking the discussion, thank you for that.  :-]

I was tempted to reply earlier in this thread, and seeing the way it's played 
out, I think I made the right choice in
not trying to send (or further edit) the draft I'd composed.

 Go the easy path, and push it the Eduroam SSID everywhere, as an additional

 and puts management traffic in the air that isn’t generally going to be used.

This is what we did at NU.  

We do some role-based stuff on the back end such that if an NU person connects 
to eduroam, they get the same IP addressing and setup as if they use our 
regular 802.1X SSID.
