RE: [WIRELESS-LAN] Guest access

[Donald R Gallerie]

Bruce,   We use Cisco gear and set up two vlans.  One is a broadcast ssid which places the user in a captive vlan which they can escape via LDAP-authenticated VPN.  The other is a non-broadcast guest ssid which has no encryption. The ssid changes monthly and we tell our technical coordinators and help desk folks what that ssid is.  The traffic from the guest ssid gets routed to our edge router so it looks like an external user to the rest of the network.   Don Gallerie The University at Albany   -----Original Message----- From: Entwistle, Bruce [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, March 30, 2006 7:33 PM To: WIRELESS-LAN@LISTSERV.EDUCAUSE.EDU Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] Guest access   We have recently installed a wireless network on a portion of the campus.  The student and administrators are all authenticated through a front end device which validates user accounts against an LDAP server running on a domain controller.   However we now have the requirement for guests of the campus to connect to the wireless network.  We have some ideas how we would like to handle this issue but are curious as to what others have done to accommodate these guest connections.  Please let me know.   Thank you Bruce Entwistle Network Manager University of Redlands ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/. ********** Participation and subscription information for this EDUCAUSE Constituent Group discussion list can be found at http://www.educause.edu/groups/.
