We are a Cisco shop. Does Cisco have a product to do the location based or time based firewalling that Meru and Aruba can do?

However, there was some feedback about being able to turn off the wireless during specfic classes. With a quarter system and a small support staff, even with Aruba, we chose not to provide this type of configuration/service to the instructors. It was discussed as being a behavioral issue as well.

This would (likely) be the strongest available signal for the students, and their device(s) would (likely) connect to these APs. You could invoke specific firewall policies for users on these APs to be different. For example, you could redirect all traffic to a captive portal instructing them that use of wireless during class is prohibited . . . or something to that effect. Just an idea. ------------------ Ryan Holland Network Engineer, Wireless CIO - Infrastructure 614-292-9906 [email protected] On Dec 2, 2009, at 2:02 PM, Urrea, Nick wrote: I'm compiling research to give to our Faculty Technology Committee. My question is has anybody successfully implemented a solution that restricts access to wireless internet in classrooms? Also if you have tried and were not successful in restricting wireless access in classrooms let me know. Why didn't the solution work. No opinions please about how students can just go buy a mobile broadband card from a cellular carrier, or installing microwaves in the classrooms, or that teaching techniques should improve. ---- Nicholas Urrea Information Technology UC Hastings College of the Law [email protected] x4718 ________________________________ Spam <https://antispam.osu.edu/b.php?i=969718633&m=b51c1b6098e3&c=s> Not spam <https://antispam.osu.edu/b.php?i=969718633&m=b51c1b6098e3&c=n> Forget previous vote <https://antispam.osu.edu/b.php?i=969718633&m=b51c1b6098e3&c=f> ********** 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/. -- ********** 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/.
