What is WGS (wireless guest services)?
Wireless Guest Services (WGS) allows you to create access accounts for temporary use that allow wireless clients to log into your network. Guest accounts are typically limited to a pre-determined life span. After their life span, by default, the accounts are removed.
What is WGS and how does it work?
For easy connectivity, WGS allows wireless users to authenticate and associate, obtain IP settings from the DHCP services, and authenticate using any web-browser.
What happens if a WGS user is not a DHCP client?
Without DAT, if a WGS user is not a DHCP client, but instead has static IP settings incompatible with the WLAN network settings, network connectivity is prevented until the user’s settings change to compatible values.
What is external guest authentication and how do I enable it?
Enable External Guest Authentication - requires guests connecting from the device or network you select to authenticate before gaining access. This feature, based on Lightweight Hotspot Messaging (LHM) is used for authenticating Hotspot users and providing them parametrically bound network access.
