I don't know what benefit you'd get out of splitting the SSID if they're
all still going to be in the same Vlan, unless you have a wireless
controller of some sort that can control access or bandwidth based on
the SSID.
We currently also run a single SSID and Vlan, but will probably separate
out the Residence Halls from the rest of campus over the winter break.
I think I'd prefer to do it via geographic location, rather than
authentication-based, because needs may change based on where a student
is using (I'm thinking in classroom vs. dorm room)

Hi,
We're entertaining the idea of providing separate wireless
services to our academic and admin communities. 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
