Configuring the guest interface

To configure the Guest interface:

1 Do one of the following:

Configure the access point to represent two physically separate networks as described in the following section, see “Configuring a physically separate guest network” on page 100.

OR -

Configure the access point to represent two virtually separate networks as described in the following section, see “Configuring a guest network on a virtual LAN” on page 101.

2 Set up the guest welcome screen for the guest captive portal as described in the following section, see “Configuring the guest welcome screen (captive portal)” on page 101.

Important 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 shared in the cluster configuration and which are not?” on page 43.

Configuring a physically separate guest network

To configure a physically separate guest network:

1 Make two wired connections from the network ports on the access point: one to your secure, internal LAN and the other to a guest network. (See “Setting up connections for a guest network” on page 19.)

2 Configure Ethernet (Wired) settings for physically separate internal and guest networks on VLANs as described in the sections in “Configuring an Ethernet (wired) interface” on page 68.
