Securing wireless client sessions with VPNs

The ability to secure wireless client sessions is intended for low-data-volume applications

like that of wireless POS terminals.

To secure wireless client sessions, create a VPN tunnel from the wireless client to the

controller. The sample topology seen earlier serves as an example for the sample

configurations that follow. In this example, the controller LAN port has an IP address of

7.1.1.1, the APs are at 7.1.1.2 and 5.1.1.2, and the wireless POS are at 7.1.1.3 and 5.1.1.3.

To use VPNs to secure wireless client sessions, configure an IPSec policy for this purpose, or

configure the L2TP server or PPTP server.

Wireless clients are typically assigned IP addresses from the VPN address pool. Configure

this first via Controller >> Network > Address allocation > VPN address pool. See

address pool on page

Wireless clients require VPN software that is configured to work with your VPN configuration

on the controller.
