We are using Aerohive PPSK for media devices on our residential network as
well. We have a RESNet-Media SSID for gaming consoles, smart-TVs, streaming
media devices, and other non-802.1x compliant devices to connect to.
We strictly enforce 1 key per device connection limits to avoid abuse.
I believe that is a bit out of date!
We use Aerohive and their PPSK option extensively. We love the feature. The
total number of PPSK’s that each access point can store is around 5000 at this
time. For our environment, that is more than enough. Aerohive is a great
company and their kit is
Not sure how up to date this is…

We haven't had an Echo show up, at least as far as I know. Our how-tos are on
our Jenzabar-driven portal, so they aren't exactly normal files I can email. I
have a printable handout that we leave in all residence hall rooms at the
beginning of fall semester, but it is light on illustrations

Ruckus supports a PPSK variant, as well.
I'm just gonna put this out there. I have this idea in my head for an ideal
wifi service. It starts with personal pre-shared key (PPSK), but it's something

We have users self-register non-802.1X capable devices such a s game consoles,
Apple TVs, etc.
We use syslog from our ClearPass RADIUS server to map username to ip address so
we can manage Internet bandwidth and either cap speeds for heavy users or let
them purchase additional Internet
There's also chatter on Amazon forums that there might be eventually an Alexa
skill to make the Echo speak its mac.
Lee, if you have an open ssid, and have the ip address the device got from it,
maybe a script that queries your dhcp through a web page could be an idea?

Yep, but it feels like we're always playing catch up. Especially in spring
after everyone brings back their latest Christmas gift.
BTW, the instructions for the Echo are "contact Amazon support and they will
email you the MAC".

Our helpdesk folks sat down and wrote up documents on how to find the MAC
addresses for as many devices as they could. We haven't done any instructions
for the Amazon Echoes yet. We hit the most common devices and are waiting to
see what tickets we get for devices that we missed so we can

Thanks, Bill. How do you deal with Amazon Echo, specifically? For that matter,
is that how-to available to share? I've seen other schools' guides, but none
that include latest round of devices.
