Chapter 14: Setting Up Guest Access
Configuring A Guest Network On A Virtual LAN
Note: Guest Interface settings are not shared among access points across the cluster. These
settings must be configured individually on the Administration pages for each access
point. To get to the Administration pages for an access point that is a member of the
current cluster, click on its IP Address link on the Cluster, Access Points page of the
current AP. For more information about which settings are shared by the cluster and
which are not, see "Which Settings Are/Are Not Shared As Part Of The Cluster Con-
figuration?" on page 57.
14.2.1 Configuring A Guest Network On A Virtual LAN
Notes: If you want to configure the Guest and Internal networks on Virtual LAN
(VLANs), the switch and DHCP server you are using must support VLANs.
As a prerequisite step, configure a port on the switch for handling VLAN tagged
packets as described in the IEEE 802.1Q standard.
Guest Welcome Screen settings are shared among access points across the cluster.
When you update these settings for one access point, the configuration will be
shared with the other access points in the cluster. For more information about
which settings are shared by the cluster and which are not, see "Which Settings
Are/Are Not Shared As Part Of The Cluster Configuration?" on page 57.
To configure Internal and Guest networks on Virtual LANs, do the following:
1. Use only one wired connection from the network port on the access point to the LAN.
(Make sure this port is configured to handle VLAN tagged packets.)
2. Configure Ethernet (wired) Settings for Internal and Guest networks on VLANs as
described in the sections in Chapter 12: "The Ethernet (Wired) Interface".
(Start by enabling Guest Access and choosing For Internal and Guest access, use two:
VLANs as described in "Specifying A Virtual Guest Network" on page 139.)
3. Provide the radio interface settings and network names (SSIDs) for both Internal
and Guest networks as described in Chapter 13: "Setting The Wireless Interface".
4. Configure the guest splash screen as described in "Configuring The Welcome
Screen (Captive Portal)" on page 156.
14.2.2 Configuring The Welcome Screen (Captive Portal)
You can set up or modify the Welcome screen guest clients see when they open a Web
browser or try to browse the Web. To set up the captive portal, do the following:
1. Navigate to the Manage > Guest Login tab.
