W-ClearPass Guest Deployment Process
As part of your preparations for deploying a visitor management solution, you should consider the following
areas:
l Management decisions about security policy
l Decisions about the day-to-day operation of visitor management
l Technical decisions related to network provisioning
Operational Concerns
When deploying a visitor management solution, you should consider these operational concerns:
l Who is going to be responsible for managing guest accounts? What privileges will the guest account
manager have? Will this person only create guest accounts or will this person also be permitted access to
reports?
l Do you want guests to be able to self-provision their own network access? What settings should be applied
to self-provisioned visitor accounts?
l How will operator logins be provisioned? Should operators be authenticated against an LDAP server?
l Who will manage reporting of guest access? What are the reports of interest? Are any custom reports
needed?
Network Provisioning

l Physical location – rack space, power and cooling requirements; or deployment using virtualization
l Network connectivity – VLAN selection, IP address, and hostname
