Guys
We have an issue with our wireless network I'd like to try and discuss and learn a bit more about please.
Our staff are allowed wireless access to the network via MAC authentication onto VLAN 1
We need to allow students wireless access onto the VLAN 2 (our student network)
I could go down the route of buying more AP's and placing these in VLAN 2 and setting MAC authentication as per our VLAN 1 model. At this point I'm not interested in the merits of MAC sniffing but just as a crude way of allowing/disallowing access to the LAN's
Is there any way of creating a new VLAN, placing the AP's into this VLAN, (call it VLAN 3 for arguements sake) and then setting some kind of redirection on the AP to say that if the user account resides on the staff network give them an IP address from VLAN 1 and if the user accout resides in VLAN 2 give them an IP address for VLAN 2.
I presume there will need to be some kind of back end authentication/server/service to figure out where the user accounts lives
Hope this makes sense
Steve
