Prevent SSID/network trespassing

In many large Wi-Fi deployments, we often need to broadcast different SSID for different purposes, eg. one SSID for internal staff or premium guests, one SSID for public user, while sharing the same hotspot infrastructure:

Preventing SSID trespassing is to make sure that, while sharing the same hotspot infrastructure, users who are restricted to access its own SSID/network and can not trespass to other SSID/network which gives different privileges and security control etc. 

Generally, there're two approaches to prevent SSID trespassing:

This document focuses on scenario #2 above, using below network setup

The objective here is to make sure public user can't login to VLAN20 which is dedicated for premium access with much higher speed.

You can refer to earlier labs for setting up HSG, MAP and Captive Portal for each vlan.

Once VLAN10 is up and running, each self-registered public user is auto tagged to a profile, either called <hostname>-<vlanid>-byemail or <hostname>-<vlanid>-byfacebook, then we create a RADIUS profile to restrict all users tagged to this profile to login from VLAN10 only, by adding VLAN10 hotspot IP.

Where in above screenshot, "172.16.10.1" is the hotspot IP of VLAN10 (user's default gateway). It's the IP of hotspot LAN Interface, or you can get it from HSG CLI from below:

mbox# show security hotspot

vlan10 tun0   172.16.10.1  172.16.10.0/255.255.255.0      /                              2            2         

vlan20 tun1   172.16.20.1  172.16.20.0/255.255.255.0      /                              1            0    

If you want to restrict more (or allow more vlan access for users with this profile), you can add multiple LAN interface IP in above RADIUS profile setting.
