We use an Aruba system as well. Our configuration destributes student users 
into separate VLANS based upon their field of study. They can access the server 
farm where needed and the Internet, but they cannot access other wired subnets 
(faculty, staff or student). Their bandwidth has limitations set on the Aruba.
A traffic shaper takes care of other concerns such as P2P.

Subject: [WIRELESS-LAN] blocking specific ports or protocols


We were recently reviewing our policies on our Aruba wireless controller and I 
am curious what ports or protocols others are blocking for student wireless 
connections.  For example, guest wireless connections are straightforward: 
HTTP, SSL, DNS.  Student connections are much more complicated in my mind.  Can 
anyone share an overall philosophy and some specifics on how you manage student 
wireless connections?
