Hello All,
Considering getting a CBS250 to implement a completely separate Guest WIFI on my existing network, which is currently all just a /24. Current internet is provided from a router providing DHCP for a /24 network and NATing. Under normal circumstances We could just VLAN it out to a separate network, but the router is not capable of additional vlans, which limits that plan.
Could 802.1q tagging be used to filter out the ports that specifically connect to the wireless AP? I am thinking 3 separate vlans will be needed.
the port to the router to be added to vlans 1-3 and tagged as vlan 1
the port to the AP added to vlans 1 and 3, and tagged as 3
the port to the rest of the hardwired network added to vlans 1 and 2, and tagged as 2.
In theory any traffic coming in through the AP or LAN ports will be tagged with the respective vlan and not allowed to cross over, but be allowed out to the router. Is that a possible solution suing the CBS250? or is their a better alternative that I am overlooking that it can provide?
