In this wiki it is not possible to keep up-to-date guidelines on how to set up eduroam on all wireless equipment on the market. The best way to set up eduroam on your network is to do the initial setup according to the manufacturer's guidelines and thereafter, checking check the same guidelines on how to apply the eduroam-spesific settings mentioned above.  However, a few guidelines are available through the links below

In order to check which ports should be open for the eduroam end users, please check out the eduroam Policy Service Definition document, particularly Chapter 6.3.3.

 Proxy Settings

As an eduroam SP, you have a choice of not deploying a network-side proxy at all (pereferred!), or to deploy a transparent web content proxy. It is not acceptable and technically not possible to deploy a proxy that requires manual settings: doing so would require any incoming eduroam visitor to modify their device configutation with the manual proxy settings at hand.

Client devices can typically auto-detect proxy settings easily: the automatic WPAD discovery protocol allows the eduroam SP operator to point users to the proxy address if any, or to announce that no proxy is in use. eduroam installers configure client devices to look for such configuration information on the network.

As an eduroam SP, you shold always provide proxy configuration information, even if the information is limited to state "no proxy here". You can do so either (preferably) in DHCP responses or in specially crafted DNS Resource Records in your domain.
