Re: How do you configure multiple VWlans

Hi clillie360:

Are you looking into VLANs and/or SSIDs?  ADTRAN's Bluesocket WiFi platform functions from a virtualized controller they call vWLAN.  Conversely, AOS router (and switch) products can act as simple access point controllers for NetVanta 150/160-series APs.  Let us know your goal and we'll be glad to help!

Best,

CJ

Re: How do you configure multiple VWlans

I am looking at setting up multiple ssid's one for the private network and the other a guest network using the netvanta 3448 controlling 2 netvanta 150's

Re: How do you configure multiple VWlans

This application guide is exactly what you need: 

Check out page 33 for a diagram confirming your design.  One important concept is that ADTRAN refers to Virtual Access Points (VAPs).  The idea is for you to create two VAPs (Private and Guest) which have different SSIDs.  Page 22 describes VAP setup.  VAPs are tied to VLANs for separation (page 19).  After you setup everything (VAPs/SSIDs tied to VLANS) on one access point, you can then apply the VAPs to each of your access points as a template.  The first AP is used as the Reference AP.  As you add access points, you simply apply the VAPs to them from the Reference AP. 

The guide includes examples with GUI screenshots and CLI commands.  Let us know how it goes, or if you have any specific questions!

Re: How do you configure multiple VWlans

So i have set that up and made sure that all the settings are correct but the guest wi-fi is not obtaining an IP address, so there is no internet connection i have set the DHCP scope for that network on the router the domain controller is handling dhcp for the native vlan

Re: How do you configure multiple VWlans

It might be best to attach your configuration (be sure to remove any sensitive data from the CFG text file such as passwords or pre-shared keys).  But one of the things I encounter is the policy-class (security zone) for the guest network.  Assuming you created a new policy-class for guests, an allow policy must be in place for guest clients to request a DHCP address.

You wouldn't want to allow guests access to http or telnet for management though, only DHCP.  Possibly DNS too, if you're telling DHCP clients to use the 3430 as their DNS server.  This might do the trick:

!

ip access-list standard wizard-ics

  remark Internet Connection Sharing

  permit any

!

!

ip access-list extended RouterAdminAccess

  remark Types of connections used for management

  permit tcp any host 192.168.100.1 eq telnet

  permit tcp any host 192.168.100.1 eq ssh

  permit tcp any host 192.168.100.1 eq www

  permit tcp any host 192.168.100.1 eq https

!

ip access-list extended self

  remark Traffic to NetVanta

  permit ip any any

!

!

ip policy-class GUEST

  discard list RouterAdminAccess

  allow list self self

  nat source list wizard-ics interface eth 0/2 overload policy Public

!

ip policy-class Public

  ! implicit discard

!

In this example, the router's guest interface is 192.168.100.1 (also assigned in DHCP) and it's assigned to the GUEST security zone.  The Internet interface is in Public.  The order of policies listed under each policy-class is crucial. Here, we discard any connections from guests to the router used for administration, but then allow other, non-management connections.  DHCP requests would be part of that next "self" policy.  Last, we NAT out general Internet traffic like normal.

There could be other factors, so consider attaching your config (sanitized) if this doesn't help.
