Help with discriminating wifi AP traffic please
Hi, I am seeking some general direction in the best way to discriminate and segregate wireless AP traffic using a managed switch. I can set up several secure SSIDs on the AP and the AP can be se...
Hi Fordem.
QUOTE=fordem;484706]Based on my interpretation of your earlier response (#6) no changes to the existing routing arrangements need to be made.
As I understand it - your firebox supports multiple LAN segments, each with it's own range of network addresses - what I'm doing is using the access points to support multiple SSIDs, each on it's own VLAN and then using the M4100 to connect the VLANs to those network segments.
OK but the AP which has two SSIDs with tagging set to vlan 100 for office and vlan 300 for guest, is connected to vlan 100 & 300 port (ports 2 or 3) on M4100. I wish to discriminate between guests and office traffic and manage access to office lan. The guests lan subnet is on ports 6&7. I thought we had to route vlan 300 traffic to guests subnet.
When you find a convenient time - maybe on the weekend - just plug it in and see if it works.[/QUOTE]
Will try it as is let you know how I get on.
Many thanks once more.
