i was under wrong impression that WPA2-Enterpsie will perform better than WPA2-PSK Authentication method. this paper says \" plain PSK performs better than any\n
other public key based mechanisms\" http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.89.8468&rep=rep1&type=pdf. <\/p><\/div>

WPA2-Enterpsie 802.1x rollout also help in performance compare to WPA2-PSK<\/p><\/div>

Also approaching any AAA-802.1x rollout hollistically and logically will help scalability and troubleshooting. Measure twice (or 3 times) cut once!<\/p><\/div>

We have Aruba ClearPass, AirWave, Aruba switches and APs which gives us very granular control in our environment. As long as we keep all Aruba products. We have a very clear view of what type of devices (BYOD or owned by our school district) are present in our environment and what has been in the environment. Clearpass allow us to see when and where a device attached to the network and gives a running log of who is on the network or trying to get on the network and the status of why they are failing to attach. If they are a bad actor we track down (yes sometimes sneaker net) the device using the Airwave and blacklist it from the system. We can track our roaming population to see where we have low signal to a single device or area due to placement/saturation in a specific area or \"zone\". Our largest zones allow for 3000 devices to connect simultaneously, we estimated up to 3 devices per user in common gathering areas for students and just stopped at 3000 in the high school gyms.\n
As we allow more devices at lower grades Clearpass allows us to open BYOD to a building, area in a building or to a single AP through policy management. \n
I am sure there are other solutions in the industry that will do the same as our Aruba system. We got in at a good price point, have had excellent support from our vendor and the devices we purchased over 5 years ago are all still in place and have allowed us to expand as we have needed. We have to started adding new AC APs and the hardware we currently own supports the upgrade. The software updates for the system have also not grown past supporting our original equipment, we are a school district so we do have some 8 year old devices still in service.<\/p><\/div>
