step #10: Configure a BYoD environment

The trend of Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) in the work place is a new challenge on network security and
management. Many corporations that allow employees to use their own devices at work expect to have better
performance and productivity; however, on the downside, corporations also are concerned with network security
and information leakage by using private devices. How to distinguish between corporate-provided devices and
private devices (BYOD device) is a major task for IT teams.
Use device MAC authentication to enforce client associating specific SSIDs based on the device which is corporate-
provided or private. All connectivity from SSIDs required performing authentication before granted authority. To
configure a BYOD environment, perform the following procedures:
The authentication methods on each SSID are difference:
• dlink_corporate SSID: This SSID is for D-Link employees who works with cooperate-provided drives. It
requires device MAC authentication and Captive Portal to complete the authentication process.
• dlink_byod SSID: This SSID is for D-Link employees who work with his/her private drive (BYOD device).
It requires Captive Portal to complete the authentication process.
1. Set up VLANs based on the network architecture. Create three VLANs. VLAN1 is the default VLAN for AP
management, VLAN2 is for the traffic associated from SSID dlink_corporate, and VLAN3 is for the traffic
associated from SSID dlink_byod. Associate VLAN 1 to 3 memberships on Port1.
a. Go to Network > VLAN > VLAN Settings. The VLAN List will appear.
b. Click Add New VLAN. The VLAN Configuration page will appear.
c. Enter a VLAN ID and name.
d. Enter the IP range for your VLAN.
