Configuring a guest network on a virtual LAN
To configure internal and guest networks on virtual LANs:
1 Configure Ethernet (Wired) settings for internal and guest networks on VLANs as
described in the sections in “Configuring an Ethernet (wired) interface” on page 68.
(Start by choosing
For Internal and Guest access, use two: VLANs as described in
“Specifying a physical or virtual Guest network” on page 70.)
2 Provide the radio interface settings and network names (SSIDs) for both internal and
guest networks as described in “Configuring a wireless interface” on page 74.

Configuring the guest welcome screen (captive portal)
You can set up or modify the welcome screen guest clients see when they open a Web
browser or try to browse the Web.
Important If you want to configure the Guest and Internal networks
on Virtual LAN (VLANs), the switch and DHCP server you
are using must support VLANs.
As a prerequisite step, configure a port on the switch for
handling VLAN tagged packets as described in the IEEE
802.1Q standard.
Guest Welcome Screen settings are shared among access
points across the cluster. When you update these settings
for one access point, the configuration will be shared with
the other access points in the cluster. For more information
about which settings are shared by the cluster and which
are not, see “Which settings are shared in the cluster
configuration and which are not?” on page 43.
