Solutions Tech Lab

Previously, I discussed one of the main features of New Central, the Hierarchical Configuration Model, in an earlier technote. If you remember that model helps organise configurations in a much more structured way. In this technote, I’m going to build on what we covered before, but this time, we’ll focus specifically on setting up a guest WLAN. I’ll be using ClearPass both as the captive portal for guests and as the authentication server, so you’ll see how these components fit together in practice.

This technote will walk you through the steps to configure New Central using the different profiles required for setting up AOS10 guest WLANs, specifically operating in Bridge mode. We’ll break down each profile and explain why it’s needed, so you can follow along even if you’re not familiar with all the technical terms.
