Playing devils advocate, I have to ask the opposite, which is why put up a barrier in the first place to the student on-boarding their device(s)? Is there sufficient history to suggest that having to register/on-board the device has a positive impact on the operation of the network? Should the goal be to have the experience be as close to what they had at home? I continue to focus on BYOD and IoT, where implementing something like PPSK (personal pre-shared key) is probably “good enough.” I imagine a state where the student gets their key via the student portal and then uses it for all of their devices.

Hi Everyone, Not looking for a lot of input on all of the things you CAN do- just asking a focused question for those that are doing it. We're piloting the ability for students to self-register games, TVs, Roku, etc. but am astounded at how hard some devices are to find MAC addresses for from the user side. Amazon Echo is notorious, also fighting with a Roku 2. No labels, not easy to find in menu. Sure, you can find all of this on APs, but that isn't "self-service" for self-registration. Anyone have thoughts, comments, scars, suggestions? I know Clearpass and ISE can fingerprint, but I'm finding that's far from accurate at times, and again- doesn't help with "register YOUR device by MAC" for users that can't see what network admins use. -Lee Badman Lee H.
