Deployment Strategy
The following strategy outlines how to configure Extreme Campus Controller to integrate with
ExtremeGuest™, which houses the external captive portal. The ExtremeGuest server can be assigned
from the Extreme Campus Controller Networks Add page to handle client authentication and
accounting. The portal resides on the ExtremeGuest server and Extreme Campus Controller initiates the
client network connections.
The following outlines how to integrate Extreme Campus Controller with ExtremeGuest.
1. Add a site with a device group.
2. Configure one or more ExtremeGuest servers.
3. Configure a captive portal network:
Select Enable Captive Portal on the network.
Select portal type EGuest.
Specify the ExtremeGuest servers.
4. Modify the configuration profile associated with the device group:
Assign the ExtremeGuest network to the device group.
Assign the policy roles to the device group.
Note
The policy role names must match on both ExtremeGuest and Extreme Campus
Controller. A simple approach is to create policies on ExtremeGuest with names that
match the Extreme Campus Controller default policies.
