Securing Guest Wlan

r.robins — Sat, 03 Jul 2021 21:43:06 GMT

I am trying to set up a WLAN with internal users and guest users.

I have 2 ssid's one visible one hidden, the visible one is for guest use.

Problem is when I connect to the guest wlan and web auth, I can then ping and telnet to the rest of the corporate network. How do I stop this?

Have you got separate vlans setup ie.

vlan 10 = users

vlan 11 = guest

You would then hand out different IP address ranges for each vlan eg.

vlan 10 = 192.168.5.0/24

vlan 11 = 192.168.10.0/24

Then you can either use a firewall or use access-lists on the vlan interfaces ie. suppose the coporate network was made up of subnets

192.168.1.0/24

192.168.2.0/24

192.168.3.0/24

Also assume you want to allow your guest users out to the Internet

access-list 101 deny ip 192.168.10.0 0.0.0.255 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255

access-list 101 deny ip 192.168.10.0 0.0.0.255 192.168.2.0 0.0.0.255

etc..

int vlan 11

ip access-group 101 in

This would allow guest users on 192.168.10.0 to access the Internet but not coporate LAN.

Thanks Jon,

Looks like this is one of two ways to go.

ACL's on the switch/Router or put the WLC onto a DMZ.

Second option just means we use a wlc for 4 AP's taht will provide the Guest access.

Not so bad as we have 4 in total.
