Wired Guest Access using VRF and GRE

[chuckholley]

Hi,

I currently have a wireless guest access network using LWAP and a WISM controller. I have a remote office with AP's that are using option 43 to find the controller with the Guest SSID which is on the WISM in my data center.

This network is in a VRF which send the traffic to a firewall for internet access only. Pretty straight forward so far.

The issue I have is guest users having desktops and needing to print from this remote office. How can I have this wired subnet segmented off and join the existing VRF so that the wired and wireless subnets can communicate?

This office is connected via a Metro-E circuit which head ends into the 6500 where the VRF for wirless currently is.

Any help or white papers would be appreaiated.

Thanks

Have a look at this design guide for path isolation which covers GRE/VRF-Lite and MPLS VPNs, and covers exactly the sort of thing you are trying to do -
