All,
I wanted to poll the group and see what strategies you are using at your Universities for client addressing on large wireless networks. We are revisiting how we address and segment our wireless LAN largely due to the need to accommodate large events and sports arenas. We have operated with buildings in various wireless "zones" with a VLAN/subnet per zone. Going forward some of our larger event spaces will need to support 3000+ clients in the same building. What has the approach been for handling address allocations at your institutions? Most research I've found suggests either using VLAN pooling or very large subnets with client isolation. These won't easily work for us, at least in academic areas, as we have many faculty using airplay, doceri, and other client to client applications. Going with large subnets per building may cause a lot of broadcast traffic volume issues and potential roaming issues between buildings (sticky clients?). If it helps, we are an Aerohive shop and using Windows Server 2012 DHCP in HA configuration.
