Creating an SSID using a
captive portal
Go to WiFi Controller > WiFi Network >
SSID.
Create a new SSID. Set Traffic Mode to
Tunnel to Wireless Controller and enable
DHCP Server, taking note of the IP range
assigned.
Under WiFi Settings, set Security Mode
to Captive Portal and User Groups to the
new guest user group.
A Captive Portal will intercept connections
to the wireless network and display a login
screen on the guest user's device. The guest
must then authenticate with the portal to gain
access to the wireless network.
