Walled Garden allows you to define IP addresses or hostnames that should be reachable for hotspot clients who are not yet logged in. Typically, these are hosts that provide additional resources required by the landing page (e.g., graphics, fonts, or even entire third-party login services).
To configure the Walled Garden, proceed as follows:
- Create a Cloud-managed Hotspot in the LANCOM Management Cloud.
- Next, determine the name of this Cloud-managed Hotspot from the table under .
- Now create one or more entries in this table, with "Hotspot" containing the name of the hotspot configuration and "Hostname" containing the host or IP address to be allowed. The use of wildcards such as "*.lancom.de" is possible.
- If a Walled Garden host should only be accessible without login when the LANCOM Management Cloud is not reachable, then for each entry the switch "LMC-unreachable-only" can additionally be set.
- Finally, save the configuration using the command "flash".
Note: DNS requests from unauthenticated clients in the hotspot network are analyzed, and the resolved IP addresses are
cached in the background to support the use of wildcards.
Note: To simplify the process, it is recommended to perform these configuration steps in the LANCOM Management Cloud using an add-in.
