Configuring Wireless Network Profiles
During start up, a wireless client searches for radio signals or beacon frames that originate from the nearest IAP.
After locating the IAP, the following transactions take place between the client and the IAP:
1. Authentication — The IAP communicates with a RADIUS server to validate or authenticate the client.
2. Connection — After successful authentication, the client establishes a connection with the IAP.
Network Types
Instant wireless networks are categorized as:
l Employee network — An Employee network is a classic Wi-Fi network. This network type is used by the
employees in an organization and it supports passphrase-based or 802.1X based authentication methods.
Employees can access the protected data of an enterprise through the employee network after successful
authentication. The employee network is selected by default during a network profile configuration.
l Voice network —This Voice network type allows you to configure a network profile for devices that provide only
voice services such as handsets or applications that require voice traffic prioritization.
l Guest network —The Guest wireless network is created for guests, visitors, contractors, and any non-employee
users who use the enterprise Wi-Fi network. The Virtual Controller assigns the IP address for the guest clients.
captive portal or passphrase based authentication methods can be set for this wireless network. Typically, a
guest network is an un-encrypted network. However, you can specify the encryption settings when configuring a
guest network.
When a client is associated to the Voice network, all data traffic is marked and placed into the high priority queue in
QoS (Quality of Service).
To configure a new wireless network profile, complete the following procedures:
1. Configuring WLAN Settings
2. Configuring VLAN Settings
3. Configuring Security Settings
4. Configuring Access Rules for a Network
Configuring WLAN Settings for an SSID Profile
You can configure WLAN settings using the Instant UI or CLI.
