Configuring the Guest Interface
To configure the guest interface on the AT-WA7400 Wireless Access
Point, perform these configuration steps:
1. Configure the access point to represent two virtually separate
networks as described in “Configuring a Guest Network on a Virtual
LAN” on page 135.
2. Set up the guest Welcome screen for the guest captive portal as
described in “Configuring the Welcome Screen (Captive Portal)” on
page 136.
Configuring a
Guest Network
on a Virtual LAN
Note
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 is 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 45.
To configure internal and guest networks on virtual LANs, perform the
following procedure:
1. Use only one wired connection from the network 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 Chapter 8, “Configuring Ethernet (Wired)
Settings” on page 87.
3. Start by enabling guest access as described in “Enabling or Disabling
Guest Access” on page 90.
4. Provide the radio interface settings and network names (SSIDs) for
both internal and guest networks as described in Chapter 9,
“Configuring the Wireless Settings” on page 97.
