Cisco Wireless :: Best Method With AP541N For Guest Wireless Access
Nov 1, 2011
I have a client that has 3 AP541N's and they want to enable guest wireless access. However, their VOIP provider has their managed switches locked down so we can't add VLANs, etc.So I cannot touch the switch or router config on this LAN.
Looking into AP541N documentation I see VAPs mentioned, can I enable those and have secure guest wireless access with the same private IPs that the rest of the LAN use right now? (That is, the employees are 192.168.2.x and the guest wireless users would also be 192.168.2.x.)
Or do I need to do something else to properly enable guest wireless? Like add another piece of equipment? I did try to add a Cisco RVS4000 to the mix but it wouldn't pass the VLAN across the switches that I setup for the guest wireless SSID. goal is to leave the switch and router in place, and work with the AP541N's that I have and get secure guest wireless.

I currently have two AP541N access points. Both are configured for internal access and one unit is configured with a Guest VAP. I want to configure the Guest VAP to redirect to an authentication page so that the user connecting has to log in to get internet access. I'm fairly certain the AP541N doesn't offer this out of the box. I know I can redirect, but what is needed to force a user to authenticate to gain internet access. I want to find out what additional hardware/software I will need in order to create Guest Services of this VAP.

I have a AP541N connected to a UC560. We are currently configured for Wireless Voice and Data. We have added a Guest VLAN, but don't see where in CCA to secure the VLAN from accessing the other other two default VLANs.
Additional Info: AP541N-K9-1.7(2)UC560 15.0(1)XA2, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc2)CCA 3.0

Is it possible to allow certain websites to bypass the web authentication pages, so that they do not need to authenticate to get to our own website, but do have to if they wish to go anywhere else?Looking at a 5508 model at the moment

We have WCS and several WLCs (WISMv1, 5508, 4402) all running the 7.0.240.0 code. The "Guest" SSID is "garden-walled" from the corp LANs. We used to have web-auth page that required ID / PW. This became unreasonable as IT Dept was getting requests at all hours for immediate access from guest / resident family memebrs. So we changed the web-auth to remove the the ID / PW and just display corp policy and have to hit a "continue" button to gain access to Guest SSID. Healthcare staff on the floor are not tech-savvy enough to want to use or perform Hotel Ambassador functions.The issue now is that we have employees with smartphones, tablets and even personal laptops conecting the Guest SSID. Sr. Mgt wants to find a way to stop the abuse.I do not believe there is any perfect solution to prevent employees from gaining access, but have been asked to find a manageable method to deter most employees from connecting to the Guest network. Looked at seing up MAC filtering in WCS, it seems that you have to enter MACs that you *allow* on to the network - by default, other MACs are blocked. I would rather have the template block the MACs listed in the csv file and allow access as the default.. We have several SSIDs. Our corporate SSID uses 802.1x and we use Microsoft Server 2012 Network Policy Server (RADIUS) to pass user ID / PW to our AD for authentication. We do not have Cisco ACS. I am not sure if integrating RADIUS is the answer here either. I have had some webex sessions on ISE, NCS, and Prime infrastructure. We are only interested at the moment to monitor / control access to Guest. I have been told that ISE will have "sponsorship" functionality added in soon -- where user fills out info and ID / PW is sent via text or email to a cell phone or other device.

I have 2 AP541N access points. Have been working well for a couple of years. Later last year they just dissapeard from CCA one day. COundt access them but they were still delivering 'wireless' so to speak I have recently put them back to defaults to try and get them back in to CCA. i had one, but not the other. They would work fine via GUI/web access.Then i updated them to 2.0.4 (both images) and since doing that i have no access to either of them via any form.

I have a Cisco AP541N and have been attempting to configure it. I assigned a Static IP with the Subnet, default gateway and DNS info. Everything seemed to be working fine yesterday when it was deployed. Today, there appears to be no internet access. We are able to connect but have limited access.

This is my second post today trying to fix the NAT types for my 2 xbox 360. I tried the port forwarding method but with this router when I enable the ports I lost internet access in my wired devices but my wireless devices still have internet access. I even lost internet access on my computer. I never had manu problems with a router trying to get my NAT type open on my 2 xbox.

I have installed the following wireless access point on our network:
-Product Identifier: AP541N-E-K9
-Hardware Version: V01
-Software Version: AP541N-K9-2.0(0)
I have created 2 VAP's and give each one an SSID. They both have the same VLAN ID. I have setup as follows:
1) The first VAP I would like to give internet access and access to our internal network shares.
2) The second VAP I only wish to give internet access and no access at all to our internal network (for guest access). I am also using HTTP redirect with this.
how can I achieve the setup in number (2)? This is to give internet access, but not share the internal network.

I have an Access Point Cisco AP541N, working great, except that every 1 or 2 weeks, clients cannot connect anymore to it. I need to reboot it.
I recently updated the firmware to the latest version (AP541N-K9-2.0(0)), but that didn't work.
Is there a way on cisco access points to automate a daily reboot?

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.
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.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.

is there any method to control an access to the different WLAN(PEAP) on the same ACS 5.2 and WLC?That is, there is two AD groups the one have access to domain network only the other group have access to internet only and may be third group that have access to both networks.Currently if i add new authorization policy the user will have access to both networks.

I have an e4200v1 in bridge mode (LAN IP 192.168.1.2) connected via its WAN port to a LAN port on the primary router at 192.168.1.1.
Guest Wireless works perfectly in Ver. 1.0.04 build 11 but not in Ver. 1.0..05 Build 7.

I want to set up an E1200 as a wireless access point for guests, and ordinarily I'd be happy to connect it LAN-to-WAN and have it create its own subnet, but I need to connect one office PC to it also because connecting the E1200 to the main gateway displaces that office PC from the last Ethernet port on the main router.
So I disabled DHCP on the E1200 and connected it LAN-to-LAN. The modem is at a fixed, non-configurable address of 192.168.0.1/255.255.0.0 and the main router is at 10.0.0.1/255.255.255.0. I set the E1200 to a static IP of 10.0.0.12/255.255.255.0.The E1200's primary wireless connection works fine. The guest access connects, but it does not prompt for a password and web pages generate a "failed to load" sort of message.I temporarily connected the E1200 as the main router and re-enabled DHCP, though I kept the static IP of 10.0.0.12/255.255.255.0, and in this configuration the guest access worked. I observed that it connected via 192.168.33.1/guestaccess.cgi (or something very similar to that).

I understand you can have a guest wireless setup on the newer Access Points, and trunk (cisco term) the 2 VLANs and seperate them out with Access Control Lists so they don't talk to each other, but I would rather just give the VLAN 480 it's own DHCP from the router.

Is it possible to provide wireless guest access over the WAN from another office via the WLC. I have WLC 5508 in a central office and have other remote offices that have one Access Point in each office that are autonomous; I will be converting these to LWAPP. Is it possible to route guest traffic back to the WLC then forward this traffic out to the internet? How would I route this traffic out as well? install a secondary WLC in the DMZ and use anchor points. I only have one WLC

It's my intention optimize our business WiFi network.Actually we don't have a "Guest" access.Probably WAP321 should be the best solution for us.We will need 3 WAP321 to cover offices area.I have different questions/doubts about Captive Portal functionality.using 3 different WAP321 everyone has the "captive portal" feature, or you can configure only one of the three the feature of "captive portal"?if is possible to configure only one of three the feature of "captive portal", the others WAP321 trusting the authentication?what is the ip address released from the "Captive Portal"?all Guest user have the same username and password?

We have a 2106 that was configured by a former employee. No one left in the company is qualified to configure it. The wireless guest access used to work fine. We'd configure a guest user account. They would connect to the guest wireless, open a web browser and login. For some reason now there is no prompt for login. People can connect to it and get an IP address, but that's it. No login prompt or anything else from there.User Login Policies was set to 0 and I put it to 8. That didn't do anything. Under Web Auth > Web Login Page it's set to Internal (Default).

I'm looking to implement guest WiFi access with web authentication on one of our 5508 WLC (currently deployed within a sandbox environment), but looking for some assistance. The WLC currently has a single connection from port 1 to the 'Test Site 2' switch. This is a dot1q trunk. On the WLC, the interface (for port 1) is configured as follows: [code] Currently, I have one WLAN configured with the profile name 'Guest Test 1', it's enabled and broadcasting the SSID. Security is L3 only with web authentication configured. The WLAN is configured to use the interface names "guest_wifi".
The issue is that when a client connects to the WLAN, it receives an IP address okay (10.99.254.x address), but doesn't seem to be able to contact the WLC to get the web authentication page. Eventually, the WLC terminates the connection due to an authentication failure.does it sound like I'm taking the correct approach here? The idea is that clients connect to the guest WLAN, which puts them on VLAN 99 and routes traffic through to the ASA and then onto the internet.

In the ISE documentation is states that under a Guest_Activity report you must have guest access logging enabled on the NAD in the ISE network. My question is where do I enable guest access logging in the WLC that is our NAD?

I just got a new requirement for our wireless roll out and I need some help. Plan the best way to provide employee and guests wireless access w/ the guests separate from the production environment.
We have a 5508 controller w/ 1142 APs. I have two GBICs in the interfaces (only one is being used). I want to use a back haul connection for the guest access. I am having a hard time in visioning how to physically set up the cabling from the patch panel. Again, the requirement is to not allow guest users to connect to our production network but I still want/need to manage the AP. This will eventually need to be supported for remote sites tunneling back to the primary location.

I am running a 5508 WLC with 10 Access Point. we need to allow Internet Access to Guest. 10MB DSL Internet is dedicated for Guest. This link is terminated on a regular ADSL modem without being part of our network. We want all Guest Internet traffic to reach the ADSL Router. where should I create the Guest VLAN / where the DHCP for Guest users should be created. what is the best practise for similar setup.
Our Network is simple
ISP_Reuter-------ASA_Firewall--------------4505------------LAN-switch 2950
ADSL_modem------------ users connect via wireless but restricted to certain area only.

I been using my mechanics Wifi connection with my internal wireless adapter for at least 6 months. Living next door he has a guest Wifi connection for his customers that requires a password. I only had to use the password once and since then it has automatically connected. I recently purchased a usb wirless adapter with an antenna to get a better signal and it connects to the server but the login access page will not display nor will it connect to the internet. With this I get error 102.

We have the RV180W router and the WAP321 access point in our business. We want to broadcast two SSIDs from both locations: the office SSID, which shares routing to LAN traffic, and a guest SSID.The office computers are attached via ethernet to a switch off of LAN port 1 on the router. The AP is attached to LAN port 2 on the router.On the router, the office SSID and the LAN are members of VLAN 1. The guest network is a member of VLAN 2. From the router, everything works just fine.On the WAP, the staff SSID works fine, but the guest SSID has no internet. Both the office and guest networks get DHCP successfully from the router.Our VLAN membership table in the router and WAP are attached, as well as other configuration details.Why would we not be getting internet on the guest ID only on the WAP?
