D-Link DUA-2000 Policy Manager User Manual
Network Environment
A Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server and multiple VLANs are required for
Captive Portal. A guest VLAN for unauthenticated guests is required, along with an
employee VLAN for authenticated corporate clients and a personal VLAN for authenticated
personal clients.
The DHCP server needs to offer an IP address in the range configured for each VLAN and
so the switch port connecting the DHCP server to the local switch needs to be set up for
VLAN tagging. The Wireless APs also need to advertise more than one SSID, one for each
VLAN. The DHCP release time should be set to 30 seconds for the guest VLAN.
