We have 3 vlans for wireless, one for secure that requires a login, one for helping students setup the secure connection, and one that is open for guests. All 3 vlans are available across campus.

We use 1/4 Class B pools.

DHCP lease is for 12 hours.

We allow roaming all over campus.

We use an ASA for NAT and keep logs. If we have an abuser we search the NAT logs for to find how had the lease. If we the NAT pool gets full and we PAT, then we can not find the abuser. So far this has never been an issue.

each building their own vlan and larger DHCP pools. We currently have a class B 
IPV4 internet addresses and will move to NAT. When students are abusing 
copyright etc. we are given an IP address and asked to determine who is doing 
the abusing. As students roam they could end up with multiple IP addresses and 
Natting will complicate the ability to find these abusers  I am curious about 
the following.

Do y'all have one vlan per building?

How large are you DHCP pools?

What is the pool expiration time?

Do you allow roaming over entire campus, per building or what?

How do y'all find these abusers?

Any thoughts will be appreciated.
