Understanding Wireless Network Profiles

During start up, a wireless client searches for radio signals or beacon frames that originate from the nearest OAW-

IAP. After locating the OAW-IAP, the following transactions take place between the client and the OAW-IAP:

1. Authentication — The OAW-IAP communicates with a RADIUS server to validate or authenticate the client.

2. Connection — After successful authentication, the client establishes a connection with the OAW-IAP.

Network Types

AOS-W Instant wireless networks are categorized as:

l Employee network — An Employee network is a classic Wi-Fi network. This network type is used by the

employees in an organization and it supports passphrase-based or 802.1X based authentication methods.

Employees can access the protected data of an enterprise through the employee network after successful

authentication. The employee network is selected by default during a network profile configuration.

l Voice network —This Voice network type allows you to configure a network profile for devices that provide only

voice services such as handsets or applications that require voice traffic prioritization.

l Guest network —The Guest wireless network is created for guests, visitors, contractors, and any non-employee

users who use the enterprise Wi-Fi network. The Virtual Controller assigns the IP address for the guest clients.

Captive portal or passphrase based authentication methods can be set for this wireless network. Typically, a

guest network is an un-encrypted network. However, you can specify the encryption settings when configuring a

guest network.

When a client is associated to the Voice network, all data traffic is marked and placed into the high priority queue in

QoS (Quality of Service).

To configure a new wireless network profile, complete the following procedures:

1. Configuring WLAN Settings

2. Configuring VLAN Settings

3. Configuring Security Settings

4. Configuring Access Rules for a Network
