WLC Guest Connection

Can I set up a guest wifi connection on my Cisco WLC 2504 if I already have WLANs set up inside my corporate network? I want to use port 4 and connect it directly to my ISP so that it is outside of the corporate network. I set up an interface with a valid IP from the ISP and created a "Contractor" WLAN to use that interface.

I am new to wireless controllers so I don't know what I am missing. My corporate wifi works great.

Thanks

Mike

That should work. What type of connection are you using to the ISP 100m or 1G? It needs to be a 1G connection.

If it is a 1G then, Can you post the config of the WLAN and the interface?

HTH,
Steve

I have a similar scenario, 2504 WLC with an existing WLAN. Client is requesting a "guest" WLAN that hits a radius gateway device for captive portal before it goes to the internet. Will be interesting to see how this can work.

What do you mean hit a radius gateway for a portal page?

Yes a portal page similar to hotels. Client purchased a 3rd party wireless "radius gateway" they want the guest traffic to hit and authenticate to before it travels the internet. It's my first install of a device such as this which is why I am researching and reaching out for assistance.

The box said 'Requires Windows XP or better'. So I installed LINUX...

I don't understand where your problem is? maybe you post the SSID settings for us?

Is the DHCP reachable and provides addresses from the provider space..otherwise the clients are not able to work..

in your case u can only use this SSID with 6 hosts...one is the WLC...
