Hi James,
We use a single SSID for all normal users, but separate them by VLAN based on their Active Directory group. Faculty/Staff get put into one, students into another. That way we can make different firewall or bandwidth rules based on their subnet. We use Meru wireless and Windows IAS server in the backend for RADIUS, but I am almost certain all of the vendors can do this.

Currently, we have a single SSID that we broadcast campus-wide that everyone uses. We could simply provide separate SSIDs or perhaps provide separate SSIDs on separate channels (ie...RF separation of services as well). I presume there are other methods in use out there?? I'd be interested in hearing what others are doing in this regard. ..........thanks in advance..............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: 416-736-5830 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/.
