We had CCA for wired residential (e.g. students) access for a few years and recently applied it to the wireless.
We have 3 "wireless networks" - the one for students now uses CCA. Our guest wireless does not have NAC but does challenge for email address (basically anonymous) but we restrict what can be done over the guest access to minimize risk and eliminate access to on campus resources.

CCA 2) How easily did it integrate with you existing infrastructure? a. Very easily, just added a corresponding VLan to CCA for the student wireless vlan/ssid 3) What is you existing infrastructure and wireless solution? a. We use Foundry wired and wireless (wireless is rebranded Meru) 4) How well has it performed? a. Very well since it was already in use for a few years on the wired 5) If you had to do it again would you select the same product? a. Yes - from the perspective of using the same solution for wired and wireless - but if/when we move from CCA it would be for both wired and wireless to keep them the same 6) What were the success and failures of the deployment? a. success - simplicity/familiarity, failure - nothing - see 4 & 5 above 7) What was the impact on your technical staff to prepare for deployment? a. Nearly nothing - see 4, 5, & 6 above 8) How well does it scale? a. As well as CCA scales which is why we are considering moving from CCA for all our nac 9) How are the management tools and maintenance for the solution? Thank a million, John V.
