Greetings,
I have been asked to investigate the possibility of providing access for
campus visitors/guests/etc. WITHOUT authenticating. We are currently using
Bradford's NAC solution to handle all WIFI devices here and provide scans
and access. It is my thinking (and please correct me where I'm wrong) that
another SSID and/or VLAN would be needed. I have the same question into
Bradford Support, but there's nothing like getting feedback from people
that have already been there.
I would appreciate any feedback by anyone that is doing this AND from those
of you that see security problems with this approach. Because I have just
received this request, my initial reaction is a concern for security, but
if there's an approach that works and does NOT put the network at risk,
then I have to pursue this.
I want to thank any and everyone in advance for their input.
Jim
