Configuring Wireless Guest Services
The Firebox® X Edge Wireless includes a default local user account
called “guest”. A guest is a wireless user that is not usually con-
nected to the wireless network. A guest could be a business associ-
ate visiting your organization and given temporary access to the
Internet, or possibly to your trusted network. You can also use guest
services if you use your Firebox X Edge to host wireless users other
than the users the Firebox X Edge is protecting with its firewall.

Both guests and regular Firebox users can get access to the
Firebox X Edge through the wireless interface. Guest users can
connect to all regular Firebox user computers on the wireless
network and Firebox users can connect to all guest user
computers. If you host wireless access for people outside your
organization and keep other security settings low, the
confidentiality of your data is at risk.
When guest services are enabled:
•
The
Network Assignment
must be set to
Bridge to Optional
Network
on the Wireless Configuration page.
•
You must disable MAC address filters, or add the MAC address of
each guest to the Allowed Hardware Addresses list.
•
The guest user account is enabled. You can make users
authenticate with a password, or without a password.
