Guest Network Connecting to Internal Network

  • 1.  Guest Network Connecting to Internal Network

    Posted Oct 03, 2013 10:24 AM

    Hi,

     

    We would like to create a guest network on a separate ISP on a 172.x.x.x network but would like to be able to hit some resources on the 192.x.x.x network on a different ISP? Can this be routed on a 3400 controller? We would like to keep the networks separate but if there is a secure way to do the guest network on the 192 network we would do that for a plan "B"

     

    Thank You

    Marc

    The controller has an ICSA certified firewall built in.  You can create a network and DENY access to ALL internal subnets except for a few hosts plus NAT the traffic so all guest networks are essentially "off-net"

    Hi Seth,

     

    If I did this would everything be on the 192.x network?

     

    Thank You

    Yes...the guest traffic - after firewall filtering - will be on the internal network.  In order for this to work, then the controller is the guest's gateway.  

     

    If you go with your original design, then there is no "awareness" of the internal network unless you get creative in the upstream router/firewall.
