Guest Access

By default, all of your users are allowed to issue temporary “day use” guest passes for visitors and contractors.
Such a guest pass allows its user to connect to the WLAN. You must decide whether or not to permit all-or-
some users to generate guest passes.Additionally, you may also want to review the default settings and policies
that control guest use of the network. These include options you can fine-tune to fit your work environment.
