12.1.1 DNS Hostname
12.1.2 Guest Access
You can provide controlled guest access over an isolated network and a secure internal LAN
on the same 9160 G2 Wireless Gateway.
12.1.2.1 Configuring An Internal LAN And A Guest Network
A Local Area Network ( LAN ) is a communications network covering a limited area, for ex-
ample, one floor of a building. A LAN connects multiple computers and other network
devices like storage and printers.
Ethernet is the most common technology implementing a LAN. Wi-Fi ( IEEE ) is another
very popular LAN technology.
The 9160 G2 Wireless Gateway allows you to configure two different LANs on the same
access point: one for a secure
internal LAN and another for a public guest network with no
security and little or no access to internal resources. To configure these networks, you need
to provide both Wireless and Ethernet (Wired) settings.
Information on how to configure the Ethernet (Wired) settings is provided in the sections
below.
(For information on how to configure the Wireless settings, see Chapter 13: “Setting The
Wireless Interface”. For an overview of how to set up the Guest interface, see Chapter 14:
“Setting Up Guest Access”.)
