I do not think running a wide open network makes sense in today’s mobile environment unless you have huge ip allocations to account for drive-by mobile device probes consuming ip addresses. Short DHCP leases have their own drawbacks too.

Direct response off-list is OK if you prefer. Let me ask it two ways: · Who runs a wide-open WLAN in their dorms? I’m talking no encryption, no portal, no nothing. Just get on and go, baby. · Same question, but with simple PSK/WPA2 added. No ISE, no Clearpass, no MAC registrations. For those doing this, do you rate-limit? Restrict access only to Internet? Block WLAN clients from directly reaching each other? Any other restrictions/policy configs applied?
