[c-nsp] Web Authentication for Cisco Wireless AP

[Ed Whitesell]

I'd go with the WLAN Controller gear from the Airespace acquisition.

Among other things, it'll let you do different VLANs/SSIDs for multiple 
services. i.e. one for visitors, another for staff, another for VOIP, etc. 
There are also a number of other features like the ability to "block" 
connectivity to unauthorized SSIDs that your APs can see.  I *think* all of 
that will work with the 1200s.

There are also a few other options...
Building Broadband Service Manager (BBSM):

Runs on a Windows box, somewhat customizable with included APIs

Service Selection Gateway (SSG): 
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk888/tk890/tsd_technology_support_protocol_home.html
Runs in IOS, a bit more for larger scale stuff.
Also requires(?) the Subscriber Edge Services Manager (SESM):
