I think we were in a similar situation as you - we're an Aruba shop and needed to switch to AES to fully support N connections. We have one SSID that is using a pre-shared key for lab laptops. We simply switched the termination to AES and those lab stations (both Windows and Mac) picked up the changed without needing to re-enter the key, so the transition was painless. I can't promise you would see the same results. Our other SSIDs that use 802.1x were already set to AES so I can't comment how they would react. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Jonathan Czar LAN Admin Castleton State College

We still have TKIP allowed on WPA. Has anyone else recently gone through the transition of disabling TKIP in order to enable N? If so, what issues did you run into with older equipment (both student and institution owned)? We're a Cisco wireless shop, I've got WCS installed but haven't had time to set up any kind of reporting on it yet. I know the few times I've remembered to check there haven't been any TKIP clients, but I'll need more than just a few slices in time to be sure. -- Nick Kartsioukas Cuesta College Computer Services 805-546-3248 ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/.
