Usage Guidelines
The Instant user database consists of a list of guest and employee users. Addition of a user involves specifying a
login credentials for a user. The login credentials for these users are provided outside the Instant system.
A guest user can be a visitor who is temporarily using the enterprise network to access the Internet. However, if you
do not want to allow access to the internal network and the Intranet, you can segregate the guest traffic from the
enterprise traffic by creating a guest WLAN and specifying the required authentication, encryption, and access rules.
An employee user is the employee who is using the enterprise network for official tasks. You can create Employee
WLANs, specify the required authentication, encryption and access rules and allow the employees to use the
enterprise network.
The user database is also used when a W-IAP is configured as an internal RADIUS server. The local user database
of APs can support up to 512 user entries except W-IAP-9x supports only 256 user entries. If there are already 512
users, W-IAP-9x will not be able to join the cluster.
Example
The following example configures an employee user for a W-IAP:
(Instant AP)(config)# user user1 password123 radius
(Instant AP)(config)# end
(Instant AP)# commit apply
