interfaces as described in “Understanding Interfaces as Presented in the CLI” on page 190.

Note

After you configure the Guest Network (as described in the sections below), you can enable a "captive portal" Welcome page for guest clients who are using the Web over your Guest network. You can mod- ify the Welcome page text that is displayed to guests when they log on to the Web. For more informa- tion, see “Enable/Configure Guest Login Welcome Page” on page 228.

The following Guest Access configuration examples are provided:

Enable / Configure Guest Access on VLANs

Disable Guest Access on VLANs

Change VLAN IDs (VLANs Must Be Enabled Already)

Enable / Configure Guest Access on VLANs

Caution

You cannot use an ssh or telnet connection to configure VLANs, because you will lose network connectivity to the access point when you remove the bridge-port. Therefore, you cannot configure VLANs through the CLI.

Be sure to verify that the switch and DHCP server you are using can support VLANs per the 802.1Q standard. After configuring the VLAN on the Advanced menu’s Ethernet (Wired) Settings page, physically reconnect the Ethernet cable on the switch to the tagged packet (VLAN) port. Then, re-connect via the Web User Interface to the new IP address. (If necessary, check with the infrastructure support administrator regarding the VLAN and DHCP configurations.)

This example assumes you start with Guest Access "disabled" and provides commands to enable it on VLANs.

1.Get the current status of Guest Access (it is "down" or disabled initially):

USR5453-AP#get interface brguest status down

2.Enable Guest and remove bridge-port:

USR5453-AP#set bss wlan0bssGuest status up USR5453-AP#set bss wlan1bssGuest status up USR5453-AP#set interface brguest status up USR5453-AP#set portal status up

USR5453-AP#remove bridge-port br0 interface eth0

3.Enable VLANs:

USR5453-AP#add interface vlan1111 type vlan status up vlan-id 1111 vlan-interface eth0

USR5453-AP#add bridge-port br0 interface vlan1111

USR5453-AP#add interface vlan2222 type vlan status up vlan-id 2222 vlan-interface eth0

USR5453-AP#add bridge-port brguest interface vlan2222

4.Check the current settings:

USR5453-AP# get bss
