Creating Walled Garden Access
On the Internet, a walled garden typically controls a user’s access to web content and services. The walled garden
directs the user’s navigation within particular areas to allow access to a selection of websites or prevent access to
other websites.
Creating Walled Garden Access
Walled garden access is needed when an external or internal captive portal is used. A common example could be
a hotel environment where unauthenticated users are allowed to navigate to a designated login page (for example,
a hotel website) and all its contents.
Users who do not sign up for Internet service can view “allowed” websites (typically hotel property websites). The
website names must be DNS-based (not IP address based) and support the option to define wildcards. This works
for client devices with or without HTTP proxy settings.
When a user attempts to navigate to other websites not configured in the white list walled garden profile, the user
is redirected back to the login page. In addition, the black listed walled garden profile is configured to explicitly
block navigation to websites from unauthenticated users.
Using the WebUI to create Walled Garden access
1. Navigate to Advanced Services > Stateful Firewall > Destination.
2. Click Add to add a destination name.
3. Select the controller IP version, IPv4 or IPv6, from the IP Version drop-down menu.
4. In the Destination Name field, enter a name and click Add.
NOTE: The Walled Garden feature can be used with the PEFNG or PEFV licenses.
