Configuring a Guest Network on a Virtual LAN
To configure Internal and Guest networks on virtual LANs, do the following:
1. Use an Ethernet cable to make a wired connection from the LAN 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 “Ethernet
(Wired) Settings” on page 79.
(Start by enabling Guest Access and choosing For Internal and Guest access, use VLAN on Ethernet Port as
described in
“Specifying a Virtual Guest Network” on page 82.)
3. Provide the radio interface settings and network names (SSIDs) for both Internal and Guest networks
as described in
“Wireless Settings” on page 87.
4. Configure the guest splash screen as described below.
Note
Guest Interface settings are not shared among access points across the cluster. These settings must
be configured individually on the Web User Interface pages for each access point. To get to the Web
User Interface for an access point that is a member of the current cluster, click on its IP Address link on
the Cluster menu’s Access Points page of the current access point. For more information about which
settings are shared by the cluster and which are not, see “Which Settings are Shared as Part of the
Cluster Configuration and Which Are Not?” on page 35.
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 Shared as Part of the Cluster Configuration and Which Are Not?” on
page 35.
