Installation and User Guide: Airgo Access Point 7
Multiple SSIDs
The Airgo AP supports multiple SSIDs within each individual AP. Using the multiple SSID
feature, users can access separate networks through a single physical infrastructure. For example, if
you want to create different levels of resource access for employees and visitors, you can create two
SSIDs, one with high security and one with open security.
Guest Access
The Airgo AP supports flexible, secure management of guest access at corporate and hot spot
locations. By contrast with most other guest access solutions, the Airgo AP supports guest access
without necessarily requiring changes to the physical network topology. VLAN tags on the existing
access points segregate users into non-guest and guest VLANs, and guests are automatically
directed to an internal or external web landing page. Guest passwords can be assigned statically or
change dynamically according to a pre-set schedule. An open access option is available to provide
unauthenticated guests with access to an open subnet.
Rogue AP Detection and Classification
Maintaining a secure wireless network requires ongoing monitoring of potential rogue access
points and the ability to classify them as known to the local or neighboring network, or as true
rogues. The network management functions of NM Portal include automatic network scanning and
display of detected APs that potentially qualify as rogues. Using the information included in the
display, network administrators can identify and classify the known APs. The remaining APs are
classified as rogues. By examining the information available for each rogue AP, it is generally
possible to pinpoint the location of the rogue and take action to remove it from the network.
