Interesting. Would you be willing to share what your average user consumes per month?

Thanks,

Just to turn this on it’s ear a bit...

Why not go back to an open network for student devices, with the same EULA as 
they’d get be it at a Starbucks, McDonalds, hotel, or convention center? Why 
are we (my self included) so hell bent on student devices connecting via 
WPA-Ent and all the challenges associated with accommodating devices that can’t?

        Here at Rice, we have just that - 1 network (eduroam), 2 network (Rice 
Owls, 802.1X authenticated), and 3 network (Rice Visitor, open, unencrypted, 
with a pop-up welcome page to accept our use policy).  We are not necessarily 
hell-bent on getting a PSK/MAC authenticated network built, but our students 
are.  They want to put their Wii-U, Xbox, AppleTV, Roku, Google Chromecast, 
etc. on the wireless network just like they would at home, their apartment, 
etc.  Obviously, they wouldn't do that at Starbucks, a hotel, or the like.  
They live on campus, so it's their home.

Does data exist that shows all of this overhead we’ve created has had any 
measurable benefit (for the cost), especially when the same users aren’t 
concerned about over-the-air security when at the above mentioned places?

Why do we care so much? Is there some middle-ground that is “good enough” but 
provides almost the same experience as at home?

Would our efforts be better spent implementing other beneficial technologies 
such location-aware WiFi, where after the student connects all their AppleTV, 
TimeMachine, and Chromecast devices, the network is smart enough to provide 
them visibility of only those devices when in/near the same location e.g. 
Location-aware bonjour?

Where it gets interesting- broadcast and single class C required. But- this is 
a great summary of requirements.

Here is my first pass at requirements:

1.     The service must prevent or discourage devices that ARE capable of using 
802.1x authentication from using the service.

2.     The service should provide some sort of traceability of devices back to 
their owners.

3.     The service must provide some method to deny access to an individual 
device.

4.     The service must be easy enough to use that the average student can 
connect a device to the network in 10-15 minutes without requiring assistance 
from ITS.

5.     The service must restrict access to only authorized University customers.

6.     In the residence Halls, the service must support most the most common 
consumer devices that students might bring to campus


We are also looking at a “Device Net” for campus for other devices that may not 
do 802.1X (freezer monitors, digital signage, instrumentation, etc.).

For the residence hall device net we are thinking about blocking all access to 
campus resources and just allowing internet access.

For the campus device net we thinking about RFC 1918 space restricting the 
deivces to on campus resources only.

What are you calling a Device Net?

We have an open SSID with a custom captive portal using the ClearPass eTIPS API.

We use this SSID for onboarding to 802.1X with Cloudpath XpressConnect Wizard, 
registering a non-8012.1X device Endpoint in ClearPass (with AirGroup device 
registration for Apple-TV) and for permitting non-802.1X network access, blocking 
out internal web server & blackboard servers. If devices try to go to these 
sites, they are redirected to Cloudpath XpressConnect Wizard.
I am leaving on vacation for a week, so it may take me a while to
resond further

We are investigating a device net at UofI so,

I would be interested in hearing from anyone who has implemented a Device Net 
with Clearpass.

Thanks.

Lee,

Are you going to share the results of this survey as well?

As we look forward in how we service our residential spaces for
Wi-Fi, I’ve put together a quick survey  on if/what other schools
are doing (and not doing) for supporting the perplexing gadgets
(TVs, games, entertainment dongles, etc) over Wi-Fi. Please consider
contributing at

https://www.quicksurveys.com/s/Wc92H

I’ll run this for two weeks, will post just a couple more invites on each list 
in that period (so you know to expect a couple more… kind of advance spam 
warning) and will open the results page up for both lists at the end. I know 
I’m not the only one contemplating these questions. Should take minutes to sail 
through, but decent participation could really help others in their own 
thoughts about this challenging paradigm.



Thanks in advance!
