Configuring WLAN Services
Context
Currently, in the centralized gateway solution, WLAN services need to be configured on the web system of the WAC (border node), including authentication profile resources (which cannot be shared because the authentication control points for wired and wireless users are different).
Assume that there are three wireless SSIDs, one each for employees, dumb terminals, and guests, and the RADIUS server and Portal server use the built-in servers of iMaster NCE-Campus. Perform the basic WLAN service settings below.
