Not even the iPhone works well with 802.1x at this time. So the answer is that you still need to provide a more open SSID for these devices and for casual guests. We host a third SSID for the purpose of configuring clients to use the 802.1x SSID, and still others for special purposes around campus.
It is tempting to say that they share the same hardware, but there are different approaches to access control in the backend. MHO is that 802.1x is a good thing and worth the effort. But the answer to your question is no. ________________________________ From: Jamie Savage [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 07, 2008 10:46 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] Wireless 802.1x working well- now add NAC? Hi, At these institutions where 802.1x is working well..............do you control the types of wireless devices that the students use? We don't control the types of clients, so we're looking at providing wireless access for all flavours....ie....Windows, MAC, LINUX, various hand-helds.....etc. Is it safe to say that anything 'recent' should work well with 802.1x? ..............thx...................J James Savage York University Senior Communications Tech. 108 Steacie Building [EMAIL PROTECTED] 4700 Keele Street ph: 416-736-2100 ext. 22605 Toronto, Ontario fax: 416-736-5701 M3J 1P3, CANADA ********** 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/.
