Forbid company owned devices to connect to neighbor SSID

    Is there a way to forbid company owned devices (currently Windows/Domain, iOS and OSX) from connecting to a specific neighboring SSID? The location with this issue is a 9-12 High School with a college campus in the same building. Our network is filtered to the internet while the college's isn't with an open SSID which gives them access to material that they shouldn't while they are in our care.

     

    We understand that we can't do anything about BYOD in this case, but we have try to limit options on our devices.

     

    Would SSID containement work in this scenario?

    You would use "Protect Valid Stations" in the IDS profile:  http://www.arubanetworks.com/techdocs/ArubaOS_64_Web_Help/Web_Help_Index.htm#ArubaFrameStyles/1CommandList/show_ids_unauthorized_de.htm

     

    This requires the RF protect license.  It basically does not allow anyone who has successfully used encryption on your network to connect to a neighboring network.

    You could also block the networks via group policy / profile manager.

    Is there a plugin for IOS and Mac OSX devices that allows that to with with them, too?

    I believe you can do it with profile manager (free from Apple)
