We have everything segmented by vlan as well.  However I never
considered segmenting the wireless students from the wired students.
Any complaints about not being able to 'see' another student machine or
printer, access their iTunes store or any other of that genre?  We don't
route any UDP traffic between vlans.

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?
