Re: Guest Wireless Restrictions

["Entwistle, Bruce" <Bruce_Entwistle () REDLANDS EDU>]

We require a sponsor request an account, which expires in five days, on behalf of their visitor. The wireless network 
allows only a few select protocols such as http, https, smtp and a couple of others which escape me right now.

Subject: [SECURITY] Guest Wireless Restrictions

Many of us have some form of "Guest Wireless
Access", I am interested in what others are doing
in terms of restricting that access.
Do you:

Require any kind of registration or
authentication?
Restrict the bandwidth, or access to ports and
functionality in any way?
Do you allow P2P from the guest range?


Here at NEU we do not allow access to our
preferred resources or core systems (data centers
ect) from the guest range, but otherwise people
have most functionality. What we have been seeing
over the past year is an up-trend of people using
the guest range to download copyright material.
Our automated system will respond to complaints
from outside entities and notify students they are
in violation of our policies, but we do not have
that ability with the guest network.
