Rafisa WLAN networks

The SSIDs of the Rafisa WLAN networks are RAFISA-WLAN and RAFISA-GUEST. In the RAFISA WLAN, authentication takes place according to 802.1X: Based on membership of an AD group, you are connected to the corresponding VLAN after logging in. In RAFISA-GUEST, login is via WPA2-Personal with a password. The password can be requested from the helpdesk.

Connecting the access points

The access points are connected to a VLAN trunk on which VLANs 21 (instructor), 22 (student) and 23 (guest) are tagged and VLAN 1 is untagged. The PVID of the port should be 1. VLAN 1 is used for communication between access points and the Unifi controller.

:!: It is very important that Loopguard for the VLAN trunks is switched off on the switch, as otherwise errors may occur and the port may be deactivated as a result.
