Configuring Guest Controller
A guest controller is used when the client traffic is tunneled to a guest anchor controller in the demilitarized zone (DMZ). The guest client goes through a web authentication process. The web authentication process is optional, and the guest is allowed to pass traffic without authentication too.
Enable the WLAN on the mobility agent on which the guest client connects with the mobility anchor address of the guest controller.
![]() Note |
With Cisco 5700 Series WLC as the guest anchor controller and Cisco 5500 Series WLC or Cisco WiSM2 as export foreign controller, the guest user role per user is not supported on the Cisco 5700 Series WLC. |
