Re: [External] [WIRELESS-LAN] Protecting Cisco 1815w APs

[Hunter Fuller]

We haven't really had an issue with these units getting irreparably
damaged. I specifically am not aware of any user ports being damaged
ever.

We do alert when they go offline, and we do have an agreement
with Housing to bill any irreparable AP damage to the tenants. But
we've never had to do it.

I definitely recommend you get this agreement in place if possible. If
the user ripped the light fixture off the wall and smashed it, the
solution would not be to put a cage around the light fixture - ya
know? Food for thought.

This group has been a great help to us as we dealt with several issues over the 
past two weeks related to our Aruba wireless infrastructure.


Just to add our experiences to the mix…..Aruba came out with a more widely 
available 8.7.1.5 C build last week.  We installed it on our beta/test 
controller cluster on Friday and are planning on doing one of our campus 
controller clusters tomorrow morning and then the other on Wednesday.  The 
other published mitigations have had us in a stable state over the past 10 days 
or so.  Then we are all waiting for the 8.7.1.6 GA build in a couple of weeks.  
Fingers crossed…..thanks to everyone here and at Aruba who has been sharing 
very helpful information and working with us through all of this.
