RE: VLAN Pruning AP Ports

Our access points tunnel all the traffic back to controllers so we don't need to trunk vlans to the ports the APs are connected to at all. --Dan

RE: Point 2 Point for Athletic fields?

We use Ubiquiti devices for a point to multi point network that feeds a handful of small houses where students live. They are getting pretty old now, but have been reliable enough. We have also used the same devices for temporary network connections when someone sets up a tent in the middle of nowhere ...

RE: CVE 2024-23806 and flipper incident at St. Louis University

Thanks. After sending the email I did find the CVE and more details on it. Sounds like the Flipper Zero can't clone the ID card, but might be able to get info from a special configuration card that can be used to adjust settings on the card readers. At least, that's my take on it, but I have not worked ...

We use HID iCLASS SE cards, which as far as I know should be immune to a Flipper Zero style cloning attack. As long as we don't have any readers/cards configured to allow downgrading, that is. Which we don't as far as I know. There are a few details related to this in the FAQ on this page: https://w ...

RE: Aruba ap's and the bugs we have seen

We are running a pair of Aruba 7220's connected to a virtual Mobility conductor, all running 8.10.0.9. We have a wide variety of APs, including a few hundred AP-635s. We are not seeing any of the issues you describe. While we have seen occasional issues with less than perfectly reliable releases from ...

RE: Aruba controllers losing connectivity after 25 days

For an additional data point... We have a cluster of two 7220 controllers managed by a virtual conductor pait. Everything is dual stacked ipv4 and ipv6. No issues losing ipv6 that I am aware of. They are all running 8.10.0.9 and have been up since November 22, so about 50 days ago. Thanks, Dan Oachs

FRIA locations now visible on the FAA UAS Facilities Map

Just a heads up that all the approved FRIA locations are now showing on the FAA UAS Facilities Maphttps://faa.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=9c2e4406710048e19806ebf6a06754ad However I still find the map made by Alex to be nicer to use:https://www.arcgis.com/apps/instant/basic/index. ...

I just wanted to pass along this information. So far the FAA has not yet incorporated FRIA data into the UAS Facilities map. I think the last I heard was that it might be coming early next year. As part of a project for a college GIS course, Alex Suarez built a website which contains all the information ...

RE: Did you know as of 9/16 you CAN'T use a homebuilt drone for part 107 operations if it was built after Sept 2022?

Yep, this has been a source of confusion with some people for a while now. Especially since Kevin Morris from the FAA said some very misleading information in a video ( I think it is this one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w2Lle7zl9JQ ) a few weeks back that people thought meant you could fly under ...

RE: SSIDs and IoT support

No captive portal or registration. Just connect and go. So we did lose the ability to quickly and easily identify who a device belongs to. However, we didn't really need that information very often. If a device is doing something it shouldn't, we can block it from the network and wait for them to call ...

We are a pretty small IT group so it was not hard to convince our department. After that we basically informed the higher ups that we were making it easier for students to get connected to the wireless network and reduce workload on the help desk. No one really questioned it after that. --Dan

A year and a half ago we basically merged our Vanity SSID and our Guest SSID. So for the most part, we have a completely open, no registration required, SSID ( that has WPA3 OWE enabled ). That has made the life of students and our help desk SO much easier. I think we have found a smart TV or two that ...

If you are not using IPv6 today, be sure your new network is designed with IPv6 in mind ( and like you say, don't stick to your old habits, IPv6 can enable much better ways of designing your networks). Also make sure anything you purchase has adequate IPv6 support. --Dan

During the last meeting we briefly discussed the PEA-FRIA document. I'm still working my way through it, but was curious what you all think of this paragraph. I understand that the FAA and AMA worked together to create this. Does it accurately depict higher education's needs? New Locations: This category ...

We require MFA for on campus and off. In my opinion it is easier to support that way. Users are trained that when they log in, they should expect to do MFA. This really helps for those users that only work on campus for a long time, then suddenly need to log in from off campus and now have no idea how ...

If you have any AP-320 series access points, have you looked at the Aruba Support Advisory ARUBA-SA-20220922-PLVL02? You need to follow the steps laid out in that advisory to make sure there is space on the AP for the new firmware before upgrading. We have also had TAC tell us not to do a live upgrade ...

We don't use Aruba central so I have no idea if they have any sort of API you could use to replicate this. I would hope they do. --Dan

Removing the captive portal has allowed us to really simplify the networking and support required for our wireless network. Especially once you set the router to give SLAAC ipv6 addresses and DNS servers. Nothing else is really needed for clients to jump on the wifi network and have quick access to the ...

One thing we created a long time ago ( and have recently updated ) was a website where client devices could go and get "debug" information. Let's say someone is saying they are having issues with wifi. We point them to a website that shows what access point they are connected to, if they are 2.4ghz, ...
