I'd recommend against using "secure" as part of the SSID name ie. "cedarwireless-secure"
While WPA2-Ent adds encryption between the client and AP, it doesn't add anything else for the data being transported between the client and end-point. By including the word "secure" your user-base may have a false sense that anything they do while connected to that SSID is being protected by the University i.e. "http:// is fine when accessing my bank because I'm using the University "secure" wireless network." I'd also limit the length of the SSIDs as there are some devices that truncate names >15 characters. Jeff >>> Nathan Hay <[email protected]> 03/31/09 12:12 PM >>> We are trying to decide on some network names for our various networks and we are looking for input from other schools. Would anyone mind sharing their SSID names and a brief description of their target audience of devices/users? We are specifically interested in choosing a new name for our SSID that is primarily for smartphone/PDA/iPhone/iPod touch devices. Here's what we have currently: cedarwireless-guest: coffee shop type wireless with limited access, only in academic buildings cedarwireless-special: non-broadcast SSID for smartphone/PDA/iPhone/iPod touch and game consoles cedarwireless-unsecure: clear network with captive portal for laptops (students and others) cedarwireless-secure: WPA2-Enterprise network for laptops (students and others) Thanks, Nathan Nathan P.
