The wired client software#
The Wired Guest Access feature support on the Cisco WLAN controllers is supported by Cisco Unified Wireless Software Release 4.2.61.0 and later. There are no specific requirements for this document. After it completes the authentication, the client is allowed to send/receive traffic. After a successful handoff of the client to the DMZ anchor controller, the DHCP IP address assignment, authentication of the client, and so on are handled in the DMZ WLC. This local WLAN controller anchors the client onto a Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) Anchor WLAN controller that is configured for wired and wireless guest access. Two WLAN controllers (Auto Anchor mode) - the access switch trunks the wired guest traffic to a local WLAN controller (the controller nearest to the access switch). This controller carries out the VLAN translation from the ingress wired guest VLAN to the egress VLAN. Two separate solutions are available to the customers:Ī single WLAN controller (VLAN Translation mode) - the access switch trunks the wired guest traffic in the guest VLAN to the WLAN controller that provides the wired guest access solution.
The configuration on the access switch puts these ports in one of the wired guest Layer 2 VLANs. Wired guest ports are provided in a designated location and plugged into an access switch. This provides a unified wireless and wired guest access experience to the end users. For customers who have already deployed or plan to deploy WLAN Controllers and WCS in their network, they can leverage the same infrastructure for wired guest access. In addition, Wireless Control System (WCS), along with basic configuration and management of WLAN Controllers, provides enhanced guest user services. Wireless guest users can easily connect to the WLAN Controllers with the current guest access features.
Guest users must be allowed to connect to designated Ethernet ports and access the guest network as configured by the administrator after they complete the configured authentication methods. IT managers can provide wired and wireless secured and controlled access to the Internet for guests on the same wireless LAN controller. A growing number of companies recognize the need to provide Internet access to its customers, partners, and consultants when they visit their facilities.
