Should be fairly straight-forward. Define a separate VLAN for the guest network. Put the guest WAPs on that VLAN. Use a different router interface (physical or virtual) to route that to the Internet while firewalling it out of your main net. > I'm reading a lot of documentation but struggling to find the practical > application in what I'm trying to do. The following *may* help you, although it's somewhat HP-centric and doesn't touch Cisco much. But the VLAN protocol side of things is the same, at least. http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg58753.html > These are old switches I know.

Lifetime support and warranty. Support is pretty good, still. Cisco's higher end stuff may exceed the capabilities of HP's higher end stuff, but it would only be for features most people never need or use. And it's freaking expensive and everything costs extra.

Routers are a different question entirely.) -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ --- To manage subscriptions click here: http://lyris.sunbelt-software.com/read/my_forums/ or send an email to [email protected] with the body: unsubscribe ntsysadmin
