Autonomous AP with Guest Access

ppavlovich — Sun, 04 Jul 2021 05:08:54 GMT

Hello,

I have two SSIDs on an Autonomous Access Point, that goes to a 2960 switch, that connects to a L3 3560. I have a vlan for admin/private internal access that uses the native vlan (1) and guest vlan (50). I have configured both and I am trying to get both to go out the same internet connection, however, I cannot get the guest access to access the internet. It looks like my computer will go, but it just comes up saying no internet access. I have the DHCP scope on the 3560 and I can ping the gateway (vlan management address) when I am on the SSID. All interfaces are trunking this vlan properly. I can communicate from the laptop to the 3560 but I just can't get to the internet. Am I forgetting to do something?

Pete:
You have two SSIDs, one on management vlan (vlan 1) and one in guest vlan (vlan 50).

The clients connected to the guest SSID can ping L3 switch but not able to go to internet.

Try to make sure about routing (if any) amont vlans in L3 switch. to which vlan your network connection is connected? or is it already connected directly to VLAN 50?

Can't you ping any website's ip address? just eliminate any DNS stuff.

If the clients are capable of contacting their default gateway and getting ip address form the DHCP pool designed for guest vlan then the issue should be somewhere else.

To eliminate any possibility in DNS resolution try nslookup for certain site on the internet? You can make sure as well that you have added the DNS server in the DHCP pool configuration for the guest subnet.

And as Amjad Said try to ping a site on the internet and see if it works or not.

After trying the above you can narrow down the root cause for sure.

The AP is attached to a 2960, then to a 3560. The DHCP pool for guest access is on the 3560 and I can ping that gateway with no issue. From the 3560, there is a default route out to the ISP, which is on another VLAN that the private, internal WLAN uses. I can get a DHCP address, I can ping that gateway on that 3560 from the AP, but I cannot ping past it. From that 3560, there is a connection to the ISP router. (.252 is on the 3560 and .254 is on their router). I do not have access to that router so I cannot see what's going on there.

Here are some stats...

The AP ---- 2960--- 3560( DHCP pool for guest access) ------- default route for the private vlan directly to ISP

ISP router

.252 is the 3560

.254 is the ISP router ( no access )

First can you please share the configuration on the AP, 2960 and 3560

Autonomous AP with Guest Access

What type of autonomous AP are you using ?. I haven't worked with autonomous mode for a very long time as I use light-weight APs. However, both are similar. For example, in a light-weight AP, when you configure a new SSID and select Guest LAN, it is a guest mode for wired Guest users and not wireless guest users. This may not apply to autonomous mode, but I suggest that you verify.

The AP configuration looks fine,

out of curriousity - did you figure it out ?

perhaps a ISP router filter ?

cant you access vlan1 from vlan 50 in your cfg ?

This was indeed an ISP issue, and the configuration was correct. Thanks for everyone's help.

Re: Autonomous AP with Guest Access

mbilgrav — Mon, 04 Jun 2012 14:06:45 GMT

well, that makes sense !

out of curriousity - I can not understand this:

The VLAN50 host are able to access VLAN1 hosts ?

I can not see anything in the posted cfg that will deny this, or did you leave some parts out ?

did you test ?
