We have two separate SSIDs, one for guests and the other for active members of the campus community.
The guest SSID is isolated from the rest of the campus network with interface ACLs on the controllers as well as ACLs in our core and the only protocols allowed are http and https. Guests have to be sponsored by an active member of the community and accounts are created by the Help Desk. Typically accounts are set to automatically expire after 24 hours. For large gatherings (meetings, conferences and alumni gatherings) a single account is used. Accounts are managed via the Lobby Ambassador interface in the Cisco WCS. Phil T.

I was wondering what other schools are doing to accommodate these requests.
