Many companies wish to offer Internet access to their visitors via WLAN. In larger
installations the required settings apply to multiple access points, and these can be
programmed centrally in the WLAN controller.
Note: The Public Spot Option is mandatory for this
tutorial.
Objectives
- Wireless LAN infrastructure available to internal employees and guests
- Shared physical components (cables, switches, access points)
- Separation of networks with VLAN and ARF
- Break-out of data streams to certain target networks:
- Guests: Internet only
- Internal employees: Internet, all local devices and services
- Guests login to the WLAN with a Web form.
- Internal employees use WLAN encryption for authentication.
Establish
- Management of the access points is handled by the LANCOM WLC.
- The LANCOM WLC serves as the DHCP server for the WLAN clients in the guest network.
- The guest network is provided with Internet access via the LANCOM WLC (e.g. separate DSL access or Internet access via the company DMZ).
- The wired infrastructure is based on managed VLAN-capable switches:
- The VLAN management of access points is handled by the LANCOM WLC.
- The VLAN management of the switches is handled separately by the switch configuration.
- The access points operate within the internal VLANs.
