Guest Access
Guest access feature is used to provide a web-based network access control process where a client
is redirected to a login page to gain network access. The clients can have a simple click-through
login process or a RADIUS authentication based access mode. Without a login no network traffic is
allowed from the client apart from DHCP and DNS packets. Traffic to specific IP addresses can be
allowed using the whitelist configuration for the un-authenticated clients.
Configuring Guest Access
Administrator can configure a set of whitelist IP address which guest access clients can access
without doing a login. This configuration also becomes handy when an external web portal is
being used for providing the login/welcome pages. Administrator can give a secured http
connection for the login where the communication between the access point and the client will be
secured. Administrator can also configure the page title and welcome message as per his own
requirements.
