The Public Spot allows you to provide a strictly controlled point of access to your wireless LAN. User authentication is handled by a Web interface. Access can optionally be subject to time limits.
-
You should activate authentication for network access by name and password.
-
Activate user authentication for the WLC's interface that is connected to the switch.
-
By entering the VLAN ID of '100' for the guest network into the VLAN table, the data packets for Public Spot users are restricted to this virtual LAN. Other data packets from other VLANs will be forwarded to the Public Spot without a login. Ensure that access to WEBconfig via the Public Spot interface is restricted to the authentication pages only and that HTTP and HTTPS are activated in the configuration protocols.
Note: If the interface is not restricted to the VLAN ID, the controller will no longer be reachable at the specified physical Ethernet port!
-
In the Public Spot module, activate the "Cleanup user table automatically" option to ensure that unwanted entries are automatically deleted.
Note: Use only necessary until LCOS version 7.7 or if the user list is used.
