3.5.1 Port Role Assignment
The HSG gateway supports four zones, Private, Public, Service Zone 2 (Public), and Service Zone 3 (Public).
In the Private Zone, authentication is not required to access the network (disabled by default), whether it is via
wired and wireless connection. In the Public Zones, the
“Authentication Required for Zone”
option is
enabled by default, so clients have to be authenticated successfully before surfing the Internet.
There are two types of deployment mode for networks attached to the LAN ports of the WHG Controller:
Port-Based mode and Tag-Based mode.
Configuration Path: Main Menu >> System >> LAN Ports
Port-Based Service Zone
Port-Based mode operates with the principle that each physical LAN port can be mapped to an enabled Service
Zone or disabled from providing service. Operating under port based mode therefore means the maximum amount
of Service Zones available to actually provide service is determined by the number of LAN ports on the Hotspot
Gateway.
