Chapter 11: Setting Up Guest Access

Understanding the Guest Interface
You can define unique parameters for guest connectivity and isolate guest
clients from other more sensitive areas of the network. No security is
provided on the guest network; only plain text security mode is allowed.
Simultaneously, you can configure a secure internal network (using the
same access point as your guest interface) that provides full access to
protected information behind a firewall and requires secure logins or
certificates for access.
You configure an AT-WA7400 Wireless Access Point using a single
network with VLANs by setting up the guest interface configuration options
on the web pages for the AT-WA7400 Wireless Access Point. (For details
on how to set up this type of guest interface, see “Configuring a Guest
Network on a Virtual LAN” on page 135.)
This method leverages multiple BSSID and Virtual LAN (VLAN)
technologies that are built in to the AT-WA7400 Wireless Access Point.
The guest network is implemented as multiple BSSIDs on the same
access point, each with different network names (SSIDs) on the wireless
interface and different VLAN IDs on the Wired interface.
On a two-radio access point, the guest management and login settings
apply to both radio one and radio two.
