Enabling a Wireless Guest Network

To configure a wireless guest network, you can use the wireless guest network configuration wizard
available on the Wizards page of your Edge configuration menu. If you do not want to use the wizard,
you can also configure a wireless guest network manually:
To connect to the System Status page, type https:// in the browser address bar, and the IP
1
address of the Firebox X Edge trusted interface.
The default URL is: https://192.168.111.1
From the navigation bar, select Network > Wireless Guest.
2
On the Settings tab, select the Enable Wireless Guest Network check box to allow wireless
3
connections through the Edge to the Internet according to the rules you have configured for
outgoing access on your Edge. These computers have no access to computers on the trusted or
optional network.
The Edge must assign the wireless guest network and IP address and subnet mask. The default IP
4
address is 192.168.113.1. It is not necessary to change this IP address unless you already use the
192.168.113.0/24 network address on devices configured as part of your trusted or optional
network. If you do, then you must select a different private IP address that is not already in use on
one of your networks.
If you want to configure the Edge as a DHCP server when a wireless device tries to make a
5
connection, select the Enable DHCP Server on Wireless Guest Network check box.
To learn more about configuring the settings for the DHCP Server, see the "Network Settings"
chapter.
