We used to do that with 802.11b access points that were had separate AC power. Now the 802.11G Cisco, when you shut off the port to where the access point is in the room, the result is the other access points in other rooms bleeding thru or strengthening their signal to cover the area. >>> [EMAIL PROTECTED] 7/20/2007 1:50 PM >>>
Does bring up an interesting point- some management systems can easily configure radios to go down and come back up on a schedule- the APs stay live but the radio interfaces shut off. For example, Cisco's WLSE made short work of this on the IOS-based APs. Unfortunately, the WCS that manages LWAPP does not have this ability... the capability can be very handy at times and for a variety of reasons. Lee H.

If you don't want the students using wireless networking while they're in class, the easiest thing to do might be to unplug the APs in that building.
