Cisco Aironet 1040 Series - Standalone, with Guest Access
Hi All,
I'm going to purchase a Cisco Aironet for a small business. I'd really like to enable "Guest Access" so that I may provide visitors Internet access without accessing our corporate network. Can I provide Guest Access to visitors and provide access to internal resources for their staff with one Aironet 1040 series standalone (w/o controller) ?

Thanks for the help. Do you know if you have to have a RADIUS server with the 1140 series if I choose WPA for authentication ?

The second part is what you need to do with the vlan/firewall setup for the "guest" network.
At that point its up to you what you do with it. So once you have a corporate wireless user they can get to anything because you bridged it over to the corporate vlan. The guest vlan though typically would go straight to a port on your firewall bypassing the internal network. Then the firewall would provide the internet access.
