Configuring a Guest Network
In some situations, you need to allow guest access to the Internet from within your
organization. At the same time, you may want to restrict access to internal network resources.
When you configure a guest network with a Hotspot, you can control network access. If you set
user authentication options, you can then monitor the users that connect to the network.
Prerequisites
n
You must have a wireless network enabled on your appliance. The guest network is
actually a Virtual Access Point (VAP).
n
You must define the network interfaces that redirect users to the Hotspot portal when
they browse from those interfaces.
Configuration
1. Go to Device > Wireless Network.
2. Click Guest and follow the wizard instructions. See
"Configuring the Wireless Network"
on page100
.
n
Set the network protection (unprotected or protected network).
n
Set the access and log policy options in the Access Policy tab.
3. Make sure that the Use Hotspot checkbox is selected in the wizard.
4. Make sure you defined the network interfaces for Hotspot. See
"Configuring the Local
Network" on page109
.
5. Configure the Hotspot - Go to Device > Hotspot and set the options. See
"Configuring a
Hotspot" on page129
.
6. If necessary, you can limit access to the Hotspot for specified user groups in the Access
section.
Monitoring
Connect to the network and open a browser session. You see the customized Hotspot portal.
Note - You see the Hotspot portal one time in the given timeout period. The default
timeout period is 4 hours.
User activity on this network is logged with user names if the Log traffic option was selected.
