Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] How many drops 802.11ac phase 2
I can not speak for other people but our issue with bandwidth is the 2.4ghz spectrum, not the Ethernet port. We probably push a couple hundred meg per AP at most. You may need two cables per AP for bandwidth at some time but that time will be a long time off. You could use the second cable for a console, but is it really needed? You could use the second cable for Ap expansion, but you can not put Ap's that close together or you run into other issues, so you better have a lot of slack in the cable. Bottom line is the second cable cost money and will not be used initially. Given the number of Ap's we deploy that cost will add up. So the question is do you have the extra money in the budget and is it best spent on cables for the future or on more AP's now? ** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/.
DAS Wireless
All, We've been approached by wireless company to install a DAS (distributed antenna system) throughout our campus. They would then market the system to local carriers, which would increase their coverage (we have pretty poor ATT service on campus). There would be revenue sharing and they've offered to assist in expanding our 802.11 coverage as well. Just wondering if anyone else has entered into a similar agreement with a wireless company, and how it's working out for you. thanks, Ray -- Ray DeJean Systems Engineer Southeastern Louisiana University email: r...@selu.edu http://r-a-y.org ** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/.

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] Strange 802.1x behavior with single signon
I tried that and got the same results. I am able to get a packet capture of the traffic just before it hits the radio and can see that the arp replies are making it that far. So I believe they are getting on-the-air to get back to my client. I have found that if I have logged on the machine successfully before I get on the desktop. If I have not logged onto the machine before I get No logon servers found. I installed Wireshark on one of the machines and was able to get on the desktop and run Wireshark while this is happening and I do not see any packets reaching the machine via the wireless NIC. However, if I disconnect and reconnect from the wireless network it starts working immediately. I am not sure about the ins and outs of what is going on with 802.1x and Enterprise WPA2 but I believe the encryption key comes from a combination of the username and password if you are not using certificates. I am wondering if my issue is that the client or the wireless controller is not re-keying the encryption when the user changes from computer to user. If that was the case the AP would be sending the encryption using one key and client would be deciphering using another key thus the traffic would never hit the stack.

As far as I know, Single Sign-on is an alternative to machine authentication. I don't think it is designed to be used with it. By default, Windows will switch to user authentication at the desktop. Single sign allows the users credentials to be used to authenticate and contact AD vs machine auth which uses the computers account to contact AD.

We push the 802.1x settings via AD and it works very well. The problem we have run into is that when we have login set to 'user or computer' and check single sign-on it comes up and logs into the network using the computer name just fine. But then when the user logs in it immediately authenticates 802.1x as the user and then proceeds to churn until ultimately failing with No logon servers found. The strangest thing about this is that packet captures reveal that while the machine is churning it is sending out ARPs for its gateway. The gateway replies but the client ignores it. It does this 30-40 times before giving up. If the user has logged onto the machine before they will get on with cached credentials and they will be fine, other than being grumpy over how long it takes to get on. If they have never logged on before they will get the dreaded No logon servers found Doing a 'ARP -a' at the command line reveals the gateway address is listed and the machine is able to browse just fine. I don't think this is a wireless\policy issue as I set up the client to get our IT_Admins profile no matter what and also after the client finally stops asking for the gateway's mac address everything is fine. Our work around is to just set it to Computer authentication only.

Re: [WIRELESS-LAN] How many drops 802.11ac phase 2
Hi Philippe, Another reason for 2 drops is resiliency. I envision connecting the AP's 2 ports to a 2-switch stack. We rarely see the need for redundant power supplies in an edge switch, but have seen failure on a switch ASIC cause one or more ports to go dead. With 2 connections, one switch having issues won't take out the AP. I think LAG'g both ports across the stack supporting LACP will become a future requirement. -John -- John Center Villanova University On 02/07/2014 10:21 AM, Hanset, Philippe C wrote: Is the main justification for two drops due to power/bandwidth/the-two? With many services and most killer apps going to the cloud, I would suspect that the bandwidth to the WAN is so limiting, that this excess of capacity on Wireless is a complete overkill (a vendor driven non-sense). Yes, those 802.11ac Phase2 APs can generate a lot more than 1 Gbps, but that's is shared bandwidth (half-duplex), and your uplink is 1 Gbps full-duplex (2 Gbps in Cisco math as we said in the old days). So, you really plan to also uplink your switches with 40 Gbps, and then a core at many times 100 Gbps, all connected to your ISP at a few Gbps... something doesn't add up here.
