RE: Rogue AP's

I agree. Wireless vendors have mechanisms for containing rogues but until they verify that their system satisfies FCC requirements, rogue containment is too risky except in extreme interference cases. See http://fortune.com/2015/11/04/fcc-hotels-wifi-blocking/ for instance. ​ Bruce

RE: Zigbee products

2016-02-12 Thread Osborne, Bruce W (Network Services)
Zigbee can operate in 900 MHz or 2.4 GHz. It appears that most (all?) vendors ignore 900 MHz, though. A few years ago we had a trial of Zigbee HVAC controls in a couple of our residence halls. We did not notice any interference, but I believe we had them use their highest channel to place them

It is too bad you do not have Aruba wireless with the stateful firewall built in to the controller. We are an all Cisco shop, except for our wireless infrastructure. User, time, & location (based on AP group of APs) can be done, but the technical configuration would not be "pretty". I agree

RE: Naming conventions for WLAN devices

Our current convention is generally --AP[- apNumber] We generally abbreviate building names and only use apNumber if there is more than one AP in a room. For example, “GH-2645-AP225” is an AP-225 access point located in Green Hall room 2645. When we started or AP refresh, we started

I wish we could turn down 802.11b. We strongly recommend 802.11ac compatibility, but since we have residences with game consoles (Xbox 360) & some clueless TVs (Vizio) we needed to turn on 1 & 2 mbps so those devices would associate to our mac-auth SSID for non-802.1X devices.   Bruce Osborne
