  1. NextGen Wireless Steven Bourque (IST)

  2. Overview • Introduction • Current Wireless Issues • Access Point (AP) Hardware • Controller Hardware • Campus Design • Redundancy • Captive Portal • Authentication Process • Configuration • Future • Q & A WatITis | Making the Future | December 2, 2008 | NextGen Wireless

  3. Introduction • 700 active Aruba APs • All users authenticating through Aruba controllers (except Engineering) • 420 Avaya APs left to be replaced • Wired authentication also migrated • Wired controllers being installed for each constituency WatITis | Making the Future | December 2, 2008 | NextGen Wireless

  4. Campus Wireless Issues • Density of users • Private APs • High bandwidth users • Vista, IPv6, broadcasts, and roaming * https://strobe.uwaterloo.ca/~twiki/bin/view/ISTNS/CampusWirelessProblems WatITis | Making the Future | December 2, 2008 | NextGen Wireless

  5. Access PointsAP-60 • Aruba AP-60 and AP-61 Single-Radio, Multi-Band (802.11a/b/g) Access Point. The AP-60 and AP-61 are ideal for dense AP deployments. WatITis | Making the Future | December 2, 2008 | NextGen Wireless

  6. Access PointsAP-70 • Aruba AP-70 Dual-Radio, Multi-purpose 802.11 a/b/g Access Point. Ideally suited for advanced service delivery in mission-critical networks, the AP-70 includes dual-Ethernet ports and a USB port. WatITis | Making the Future | December 2, 2008 |NextGen Wireless

  7. Access PointsAP-120 • The AP-120 family of APs includes high-performance 802.11a/b/g and 802.11n Draft 2.0 access points. These APs are designed to fit cleanly into office environments. WatITis | Making the Future | December 2, 2008 | NextGen Wireless

  8. ControllersMC-800E • Designed for branch office applications, the Aruba MC-800 mobility controller supports up to 16 APs and hundreds of simultaneous users. WatITis | Making the Future | December 2, 2008 | NextGen Wireless

  9. ControllersMMC-3000 • A multi-service Mobility Controller able to aggregate up to 128 access points. • Provides a unified mobility network experience, delivering follow-me connectivity, identity-based access, and application continuity services. WatITis | Making the Future | December 2, 2008 |NextGen Wireless

  10. ControllersMMC-6000 • Aruba’s flagship product, the Aruba MMC-6000 is the most scalable mobility controller on the market designed for corporate headquarters and large campus-wide deployments. WatITis | Making the Future | December 2, 2008 | NextGen Wireless

  11. Campus Design WatITis | Making the Future | December 2, 2008 | NextGen Wireless

  12. Redundancy On Campus • One master controller with two locals • Each local runs independent VRRP with the master • APs terminate on either local and failover to master ResNet • Two locals running VRRP • One local terminates all APs with failover to the other local WatITis | Making the Future | December 2, 2008 | NextGen Wireless

  13. Authentication Process Pass Role: Post-Auth. Connecting... Role: Pre-Auth. Profile: UW-Portal Fail Role: Pre-Auth. Pass Role: Post-Auth. Fail Role: No-Auth. Connecting... Role: No-Auth WatITis | Making the Future | December 2, 2008 | NextGen Wireless
