Managing a Wireless Local Area Network
Working with Hotspot Services
•
Under Advanced Options, enable Intrusion Prevention to temporarily block hotspot
clients that fail repeated authentication attempts.
9. Click OK to save the hotspot settings.
The page refreshes and the hotspot service you created appears in the list. You may now assign
this hotspot service to the WLANs that you want to provide hotspot internet access, as
described in
Figure 89.
NOTE: If ZoneDirector is located behind a NAT device and signed certificates are used with
portal authentication, a static entry must be added to the DNS server to resolve ZoneDirector's
private IP address to its FQDN. Otherwise, client browsers may enter an infinite redirect loop
and be unable to reach the login page. Before the signed certificate gets added the client gets
redirected to the IP address of the ZD instead of the FQDN.
Assigning a WLAN to Provide Hotspot Service
After you create a hotspot service, you need to specify the WLANs to which you want to deploy
the hotspot configuration. To configure an existing WLAN to provide hotspot service, do the
following:
1. Go to Configure > WLANs.
2. In the WLANs section, look for the WLAN that you want to assign as a hotspot WLAN, and
then click the Edit link that is on the same row. The Editing (WLAN name) form appears.
