Configuring Guest Subnet Restrictions
By default, Guest Pass users are
automatically blocked from the network subnet (format: A.B.C.D/M) and the subnet
of the AP
to which the guest user is connected.
If you want to create additional rules that allow or restrict guest users from specific subnets, use the Restricted Subnet Access sub-tab.
You can create up to 21 subnet access rules, which will be enforced on both the Master AP and all connected member APs.
Complete the following steps to create a guest access rule for a subnet.
