We had the 515’s at 2.5 Gig initially, but ran into a PoE issue on that style port, so right now they are back to a Gig until that is resolved. ~Carl O. From: The EDUCAUSE Wireless Issues Community Group Listserv On Behalf Of Christopher Brizzell Sent: Thursday, September 5, 2019 1:15 PM To:

We’ve got a new 5 Story Science building fully deployed with 515’s, so far so good. We had the same driver issue, Intel AC-7620 was the card in question. Semester is two weeks in and no complaints.Actual benefits, eh, I think I’ve seen two clients connect as WiFi6 (HE). J Hope to see

RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] Radius certificate length vs. onboarding opinions

2017-10-30 Thread Oakes, Carl W
We just went option 1, did a self-signed 20 year CA, then generated radius certs off that. Only role/function of that CA is for RADIUS. (PEAP-MSCHAPv2). For the most part, things went well, we use SecureW2 for onboarding if clients choose to do so, which installs the CA and sets the

Hi Amel, We've been on 6.5.3.2 for about a month. Primarily AP 225's, but now some AP325 and 335's, and a couple AP 365/367's, along with some legacy 135,105 and 93h's. ~1,400 AP's total, all on a single 7240. We have a second 7240 for backup, and a pair of 7210's for master redundancy.

This one hits home for me, going through this now on a certificate expiring and battling on what to do next. Most clients don't trust any certificate, even if the device is set to trust them OS wide (web browser, etc). The wireless / supplicant configuration needs to be setup to trust

Hey Jim, We are a 7 Signal customer and have been very happy with them. We are and Aruba shop, so I'm not sure all that CleanAir gives you, but with Aruba and 7 Signal, there is some overlap in terms of RF Spectrum analysis, Rouges, etc. (And that's nice in some ways to have each vendor verify

dedicated sensors out there, but that's all got an IDS focus to it. As I look around I don't see anyone else that's monitoring the wireless network and its performance from the point of view of a wireless client. On Fri, Oct 19, 2012 at 9:32 AM, Oakes, Carl W oake...@csus.edu wrote: We use

We turned off all B rates this summer along with 802.11b protection (we are an Aruba campus). We did it during the summer and saw immediate improvements in speed. To be effective, you need all B rates off, the goal isn't to kill the lower speeds, the goal is to kill B altogether. It's an

I agree that we should include some of the key networking issues we see, WPA2-Enterprise, Opportunistic Key Caching, etc. Basically we’d love to see Apple take a leadership role in supporting these technologies instead of their current status as a boat anchor forcing us to keep many of these

We use the same SSID for all WPA2 stuff, nice to keep the number of SSID's the users see to a minimum. We have the laptop login via its computer account with 802.1x against AD, then any user can login with their AD credintials and the laptop then re-auths to the network with the users

Same here, we've been asked over the years, no for all the same reasons. I did see one wireless product, forgot who (maybe meru?) that claimed with enough AP's you could tell if the user is in the room or not, and if so, kill their access. Neat idea, not sure if anyone does it, still a

Depending on your switch vendor, you can setup DHCP Trust, which says only certain ports can respond to DHCP requests. Solved the rouge DHCP problem for us instantly. :) (Our access layer is Cisco 3750). As for our wireless, we have Aruba deployed in our newer locations, and are in progress on

Thanks for the tip to www.cloudpath.com. We had just started to talk to IDEngines about AutoConnect when things went bad with the company. Needless to say, I was bummed, not only for our existing RADIUS server, but another handy tool wasn't going to be available to us. :( Autoconnect was
